thats not good
I can't see any news, but are there any reports of a tsunami hitting? That depth and magnitude are insane.

[QUOTE=Funion;51542742]tell us more[/QUOTE] it's less than ideal
No tsunami hit [[URL="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-17/powerful-earthquake-hits-off-coast-of-papua-new-guinea/8129790"]source[/URL]], but I will re-iterate just how insanely lucky they are given the combination of depth and magnitude; that was a very high energy quake.
