All has quieted. Alert lifted.
UPDATE: February 5, 2013
8.0 magnitude quake has struck the Solomon islands in the Santa Cruz region. Tsunami alerts have been issued for for American Samoa, Australia, New Zealand and eastern Indonesia. We will be extending this alert for another 48 hours minimum.
We are extending a Pacific wide alert for the next 48 hours. Nearly a dozen 6.x quakes have occurred in the Santa Cruz / Japan area over the last day, prompting concern a major plate movement is on the way.
Of interest is the following geological event, which may or may not have anything to do with this recent peculiar swarm, but is worth investigating nonetheless: Tsunami Fears Over Sea Floor Collapse Near Oz

EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Keep tabs on global quake information.
2. In the event of a major quake pay attention to tsunami alerts.
3. Should a tsunami alert be issued, do not pack your things, do not stop to think, but head IMMEDIATELY to the highest ground you have access to and wait for further instructions.

Thank you Matt. I hope Barb sees this, I haven't seen her around for a while....
God Bless you guys. I'll keep you up with anything personally experienced here.
8.0 just now in the Santa Cruz region.
Thanks for the early warning guys
Tsunami / earthquake....several dead....so far.
The sites I visit, no one is blogging about this, or seem to care.
People I have spoken to today, they don't want to know about this.
The Australian floods : not enough money donated to assist.
Not sure what is happening....but people don't seem bothered by these disasters.
What will wake them up?....maybe when it effects them??? Dunno...
(Will donate to Coming Crisis on friday)
Meant to ask...due to soooooo many aftershocks...& before shocks...do you think the plate is moving Lynsey???
We notice the swarm last week, hence the alert...hopefully the the pressure has been released with the 8 mag, if not then a bigger one is possible....Worth keeping an eye on the area over the next 76 hrs
Another 7.1 tonight. Depth 10km. Counted 100 plus earthquakes in 3 days round Santa Cruz. Keeping watchful eye too as on east coast.
