My Way News - Strong quake hits New Caledonia islands in Pacific
My Way News reports: "A strong earthquake hit the waters off a French territory in the South Pacific early Friday. A widespread tsunami was not expected. The U.S Geological Survey reported a 7.0-magnitude quake centered on New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands hit overnight. The remote chain is about 1,000 miles (1,800 kilometers) east of the Australian city of Brisbane."

Comment: This is a huge earthquake, if it had happened in a populated area it would have been a disaster.
