Hi, according to an update on the Fiji Times ...

A TSUNAMI warning was in effect for Fiji this morning after a magnitude-8.3 earthquake in the Samoa Islands region.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said sea level readings indicated that a tsunami was generated which may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicentre.

It said where no major waves were observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival, local authorities can assume that the threat has passed.

Fiji's initial tsunami arrival time had been placed at 8.03am. 30 Sept.2009
