Three dead in Pacific tsunami

AT least three people are reported dead today after a tsunami hit the Solomon Islands following a powerful earthquake, casing a major alert across the region.
The quake has fuelled fears of a repeat of the 2004 disaster. The good news for Australia, however, is that experts say the threat to the nation's north has now eased.
The tsunami followed after a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of up to 8.1 struck in the New Georgia Islands region, which had prompted the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre to issue a tsunami warning.
The Japanese public broadcaster NHK, quoting a local official in the affected area, said some villages had every home destroyed.
"I think it was more than five metres (high). They found three people dead in different locations," the official said.
Solomons police spokesman Mick Spinks said there had been sketchy reports of damage caused by a tsunami in areas near the quake.
"There have been no reports of casualties yet but you have to bear in mind the communications with many areas is poor," Spinks told Agence France Presse.
He said the town of Taro had been hit by a large wave and there had been reports of buildings being damaged. The settlement of Lofung had also reported being hit by a large wave with residents evacuating to higher ground, Spinks said.
In Gizo, a town just 45 kilometres from the quake epicentre, waves had caused damage after sweeping beyond the high water mark, he said.
The Solomons has fewer than 500,000 people living on dozens of islands.
It is part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates meet and frequently experiences volcanic and seismic activity.
Ada Akao, from Australia's High Commission in Honiara said the quake was felt in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, but no buildings in the city appeared to have been damaged, Reuters reported.
"It lasted ... let's say two minutes. Not much damage here. We felt a gentle rock. Nothing bad happened," Akao told ABC radio.
The tsunami warning centre said the size of the earthquake did cause concerns for the potential for a serious tsunami.
"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines in the region near the epicentre within minutes to hours," the warning centre said.
Geoscience Australia said it had since revised the quake's strength up from 7.6 to 8.1 on the Richter scale, based on updated calculations.
A Geoscience spokeswoman said the resulting tsunami would be between 10 and 20cm, posing little threat to residents in isolated areas.
"It's not a really big (threat) for the coast of Australia," she said.
The Bureau of Meteorology's National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre earlier said a possible tsunami could affect Willis Island at 8.30am and Cooktown in far north Queensland about 9.30am.
Geoscience duty seismologist David Jepsen said the quake had occurred in an area of frequent seismic activity.
There had already been one aftershock, the strength of which had not yet been determined, Dr Jepsen said.
"It's on the plate boundary between the Pacific and Asian plates, so these quakes are common," he said.
The quake struck at 7:40 am local time (2040 GMT Sunday) and was centred about 350 kilometres (220 miles) west-northwest of the capital Honiara at a depth of 10 kilometres, the US Geological Survey and Hong Kong Observatory said.
The Pacific nation, 2,575 kilometres east of Australia, has fewer than 500,000 people living on dozens of islands.
It is part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates meet and frequently experiences volcanic and seismic activity.
The weather bureau says the threat to the Queensland coast posed by an undersea earthquake near Solomon Islands has eased.
The Bureau of Meteorology's latest tsunami alert said the weather station on Willis Island, off the north Queensland coast, reported no noticeable affect of waves at 9am, by which time the tsunami was expected to have passed.
"At this stage the threat seems to have eased," the bureau reported.
ut warnings will be maintained. The bureau says dangerous waves and currents may affect beaches, harbours and rivers. The Queensland State Emergency Service has advised that people should stay away from low lying coastal areas.

RANONGGA, Solomon Islands (AFP) - The force of this week's Solomons earthquake has lifted an island in the South Pacific archipelago and pushed out its shoreline by tens of metres, exposing surrounding reefs.
The remote island of Ranongga in the western Solomon Islands used to have submerged coral reefs that attracted scuba divers from around the world.
But since Monday's massive earthquake in the Solomon Islands, the reefs are now exposed above the water and are dying, an AFP reporter and photographer have seen.
The AFP team, which travelled to Ranongga on a chartered outboard after the quake, saw exposed reefs bleaching in the sun, and covered with dead fish, eels, clams and other marine life.
The 8.0-magnitude quake, caused by a shift in the Earth's tectonic plates, triggered a tsunami that killed at least 34 people in the remote western Solomons and left 5,500 homeless.
Aid agencies have yet to reach Ranongga, but the AFP team saw the devastation that has permanently altered the geography of the island, 32-kilometres (20-miles) long and 8-kilometres wide.
Although Ranongga escaped the fury of the tsunami, the seismic upheaval from the quake pushed out the shoreline by up to 70 metres, local resident Hendrik Kegala also said.
"Plenty big noise," he told AFP in the local pidgin dialect.
"Water go back and not come back again," he added, saying the whooshing sound of the receding water and the shaking from the quake occurred simultaneously.
The loss of the reefs was a huge blow for the fishing communities that are dotted along Ranongga's coast, said Jackie Thomas, acting manager for Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in the Solomons.
"The fish from the reefs are the major source of protein for the villagers," she told AFP from the provincial capital Gizo.
"They use shells for tools and rely on the sea for many of their basic needs.
"It just shows the incredible force of the earthquake, to move a whole island."
She said the reefs around Ranongga were a protected marine environment and locals had worked hard with WWF in recent years to ensure that they were managed sustainably.
"Now it's another marine environment that has been destroyed," she said.
"Who knows if the coral reefs will recover and the fish will come back? Villagers will have to travel further to find the same sort of food and nutrition they've relied on -- the whole food chain has been disrupted."

Oh no! The sea has withdrawn from the Solomon Islands! Was this due to Global warming? No, just an earthquake...
An earthquake? That kind of stuff is not supposed to happen! Nature just does not do that !

One other thing:
Re 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Oh, My! I can see how this fits into Biblical Prophecy. I think Shekel's blog has hinted that this is a part of the Mene, Mene, Tekel code...
I saw this too Todd. What a sign.
Thanks Benny...you know that Shekel hinted about this fitting into the Mene, Mene Tekel Code in his blog...
Re 6:14 And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
It took an 8.1 to move this one Island. Now try to imagine the one it's gonna take to move them all.

Mark 13:8: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Yahoo News is reporting the following, in part:
"The force of this week's Solomons earthquake has lifted an island in the South Pacific archipelago and pushed out its shoreline by tens of metres, exposing surrounding reefs.
The remote island of Ranongga in the western Solomon Islands used to have submerged coral reefs that attracted scuba divers from around the world.

That was some kind of earthquake wasn't it? Not only did it create a tsunami, it moved an island...LITERALLY! Its shoreline was moved by tens of meters even! That is, at a minimum, over 30 feet!
In Revelation 6:14, descriptive of the early in the Tribulation Period to come, we see what the end result of the sixth seal judgment being opened is going to be like! It will be an event of such magnitude that every island on the planet will be moved! Can you imagine?
Revelation 6:12-17:
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, you need to as the time of His return and, subsequently, His wrath is coming! What happened in the Solomon Islands is a harbinger of things to come!
Those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as Savior who read this and are wise will seek His face during this age of grace we are presently living in and avoid the wrath that is to come! Those who are not will look away from God's free gift of salvation, even when islands are moved by His power giving us a small glimpse of things to come!
Jesus is coming soon! Are YOU ready?
