Honiara: A powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake rattled the Solomon Islands Tuesday, overturning tables and sending people racing for higher ground.
A tsunami warning has been issued after the quake. However, no casualties have been reported yet. There were no immediate reports of widespread damage or injuries.
The quake's epicenter was in the ocean about 56 kilometers (35 miles) southwest of Honiara at a depth of 13 kilometers (8 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Solomon Islands—home to about 700,000 people—doesn't have any big high-rises, making it vulnerable to a quake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially warned of possible hazardous waves for the region but later downgraded a tsunami warning as the threat passed.
