No tsunami warning for B.C. following another earthquake off the Solomon Islands

There is no tsunami warning for B.C. Sunday morning following yet another earthquake off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

This earthquake registered at a magnitude 7.4, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre, and hit at a depth of 20 km.

There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries, however a tsunami was generated.

This is in the same area where an earthquake hit less than 24 hours ago. That quake was registered at a magnitude 7.6 and also did not generate a tsunami warning for B.C.

Initially on Sunday morning a tsunami warning was issued for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, but all have since been cancelled.

There is also no tsunami warning for Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California.

According to the USGS, the area is one of the most sesimically active areas of the world due to high rates of convergence between the Australia and Pacific plates. Residents of the Solomon Islands are still dealing with damage caused by flash floods that hit on April 3, killing 23 people and leaving about 9,000 homeless.
