It Could Have Been Much.. Much Worse

A Tsunami Warning was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii after a 8.0 Magnitude Earthquake struck off the Coast of the Solomon Islands.  A 5-foot Tsunami resulted, hitting the Western Coast of the Santa Cruz Island, reportedly damaging almost 100 Homes, and at least 4 People have been reported dead, with at least a report of 1 drowning and another being swept out to sea.

Authorities said they feared more to have died, and as tragic as this may be, it could have been much worse considering the region has a population of about 30,000.  Villagers fled to higher ground as a precaution, which I believe should always be the case any time a sizeable Earthquake occurs issuing a Tsunami Warning around Island and Coastal areas.  The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 killed nearly 300,000 people, and has been re-enacted in the film “Impossible” starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts.

Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the Region
