Well now! That's a bit large even by Oceania standards. I imagine they actually rolled out of bed, walked out of their island homes and looked around after that one.

It's amazing, what passes for normal in the South Pacific but I think they'd actually start to worry if too much time passed witout a 5 or low 6 hitting down there somewhere.

I'm betting its responding to this event
