Quake off Solomon Islands triggers 3ft tsunami

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21347496
A small tsunami hit the eastern Solomon Islands after a magnitude 8.0 earthquake that triggered tsunami warnings for several Pacific nations.

The quake struck at 01:12 GMT near the Santa Cruz islands, part of the Solomon Islands nation, the US Geological Survey said.

A tsunami measuring 0.9m (3ft) subsequently hit Lata in the far eastern Solomons.

The centre said the tsunami could be destructive near the epicentre.
