A Heads Up for all those in the area

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.
