HONIARA, Solomon Islands — A powerful earthquake struck underwater off the Solomon Islands, but there was no immediate word of damage and no tsunami alert was issued.
Saturday's quake had a magnitude of 6.9, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was centered 35 miles (55 kilometers) west-southwest of San Christobal in the Solomon Islands at a depth of 22 miles (35 kilometers) under the ocean's floor.
The Solomon Islands' National Disaster Council spokesman Julian Makaa said he had had no early reports of damage or injury in the wake of the temblor.
"We did feel the earthquake (in the capital) ... and people in the affected area said they felt a big earthquake," Makaa told The Associated Press by telephone from the capital, Honiara.
"We did feel the earthquake (in the capital) ... and people in the affected area said they felt a big earthquake," Makaa told The Associated Press by telephone from the capital, Honiara.
"We're checking by radio links and by telephone, but we haven't received any reports of damage," he said, adding that the council was "still monitoring the situation."
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it expected no major tsunami threat from the quake.
A powerful earthquake has struck off the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.1 magnitude quake hit southwest of the Kira Kira Island, with the epicentre around 130 miles away from the capital Honiara.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said they do not expect a tsunami and there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The Solomon Islands is a country of nearly 1,000 islands that lie on the "Ring of Fire", an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones where around 90 per cent of the world's quakes occur.
"And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
-Luke 21:11
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that has essentially destroyed the nation of Haiti has refocused attention on the prophecies about earthquakes in the last days that we find in the Scriptures. Yahshua (Jesus) told us that we would see an increase in earthquakes as we approached His coming and that this would be a clear sign that the end times was at hand. Could the unusual shaking that we are currently seeing around the world be an indication that we are approaching the time prophesied almost 2000 years ago?
You see, unfortunately the Haiti earthquake is not an isolated incident. 2010 is already a banner year for major earthquakes.
For example, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake shook the ocean floor between South America and Antarctica on Sunday.
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit Guatemala's Pacific coast near the border with El Salvador on Monday, but fortunately it did not do much damage.
