nutraxfornerves 01:23 UTC 20 Nov 2017 | The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the threat has largely passed. A news report said The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said small tsunami waves were observed in New Caledonia and Vanuatu, but later said the danger had largely passed. Waves may have reached up to one metre (three feet) above the high tide level in parts of New Caledonia and smaller in Vanuatu, the PTWC said. [That was a forecast, not an actuality.] The current info shows maximum height of .37 m/1.2 ft. http://ptwc.weather.gov/?region=1&id=pacific.TSUPAC.2017.11.20.0007 | 1
