Rarotonga affected?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

We are heading to the Cook Islands on Tuesday. Have they been affected at all by the earthquake/tsunami?

Our hearts go out to the people of Samoa - we were there 3 years ago and had a wonderful time with them for 2 weeks.

A friend sent some photos of the waterfront at Trader Jacks and Avarua Harbor and their appeared to be only a splash or two over the concrete dock and no damage, the lowering of the water prior to the wave was more dramatic in the pictures. I also talked to someone in Muri Beach last night and they also mentioned no apparent damage.
