Hi waitinginthewings,

The earthquake in question happened very deep underground and so not much damage if any is expected, nor are there any warnings about tsunamis.

Best regards,

Steve

Yes, thank you. I have been aware of earthquakes,etc. which might effect my area or area of my people because of posts @ forum because of rarely having on radio or t.v. Probably true for many of us here.
