Vanuatu earthquake in the pacific: Measured 7.2

Vanuatu was rocked hard by an earthquake that measured 7.2 which struck at 4:08 a.m. local time, thank god thou no tsunamis triggered off around the archipelago and there was hardly any damage, this was because the earthquake happened 108 miles beneath the ocean’s surface.

The Vanuatu earthquake in the pacific happened 28 miles south east of the Vanuatu town of Luganville and 1240 mile north east of Brisbane, Australia. This is the first earthquake with a magnitude of 7 in 122 days, an earthquake in the high range can cause massive damage and where buildings can collapse and cause deaths in highly populated areas.

No one wants any earthquakes but because this happened so deep beneath the sea, damage was minimal.
