[Telecentres] TSUNAMI ALERT: New Zealand and Fiji

[Andy Carvin]

I just received this notification from CNN:

-- Tsunami warnings issued for Fiji and New Zealand after earthquake 
measuring a magnitude of about 8.0 shakes southern Pacific Ocean.

and from the AP:

The temblor, classified by the USGS as a "great" quake, struck 95 miles 
south of Neiafu, Tonga, and 1,340 miles north-northeast of Auckland, New 
Zealand.

The U.S. Pacifi Tsunami Warning Center issued the tsunami warning but 
said it was not known whether the quake generated a potentially deadly 
giant wave.
