Powerful earthquake jolts South Pacific near Vanuatu
A powerful earthquake has been reported off the South Pacific island of Vanuatu at a depth of 41 km (25 miles) with no immediate reports of damage.
The magnitude 7.1 quake occurred at 03:55 local time, 63km (39 miles) south of the capital, Port-Vila, the US Geological Survey said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center ruled out a Pacific-wide tsunami.
Vanuatu, a chain of 80 islands with a population of a quarter of a million, is prone to quakes and tsunamis.
Several powerful aftershocks later struck the same area, at least one with a magnitude of 7.0. The US Geological Survey earlier said the first quake was of a 7.5 magnitude.
It is not clear what damage has been caused.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned of the possibility of more localised tsunamis.

- Venus, Sun, Mercury, and Earth in alignment; perpendicular to that is Elenin, Sun, and Mars. These perpendicular alignments seem to result in the most high-scale activity. Just my thoughts. BTW: Watch this. I don't agree with all of the New Age stuff, but this is frightening. We are expendable. Face it. Please prepare the best you can. Go to YouTube and search this: RED ALERT! - THREE 7 magnitude earthquakes and ABOVE in Vanuatu region!!!
- robert you have been warning us for about 10 years now, is it finally happening?
- Good to see you back in action on youtube, Robert! I do wish you had better news, but this is the time we live in.
