Thanks enca78... still waiting for the major news websites to update us about this... nothing yet apart from a news flash on BBC news.

Do you know if the location is near any built up areas?

Hope this doesn’t affect anyone in that area... With a bit of luck it was the ocean and didn’t cause a Tsunami

theres also this one same area within the hour of eachother?
