This was a very sad thing because the warning was the earth tremors. It shook us very, very strongly and we were frightened."All of a sudden the sea was rising up so all the people living around the coastal area, they ran up on the hill."Lokopio said most of the government buildings and businesses in Gizo had been destroyed, along with houses in low-lying areas.Police quoted witnesses as saying waves washed up to 500 metres (yards) inland and destroyed houses, triggered landslides and forced residents to evacuate.The tsunami forced the temporary closure of the airport at Gizo. It later reopened, and aircraft were rushed to the area to distribute some limited emergency supplies and assess the damage.The Solomons government disaster council was meeting late Monday afternoon to decide whether to declare a state of emergency.In Honiara, news of the quake sent people running from waterfront markets, said Daniel Evans, an Australian lawyer."I just saw everyone on the street start to run and scream," he told AFP.The Solomon Islands, 2,575 kilometres east of Australia, has a little over half a million people living on dozens of islands.It is part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where continental plates meet and frequently experiences volcanic and seismic activity.Australian officials shut beaches on the east coast and some ferry services in Sydney were cancelled, but scientists said the wave did not pose a serious threat to Australiahttp://sg.news.yahoo.com/070402/1/47kdk.htmldunno what has the world become... these days natural disasters like more frequent...haiz...want to plan trips also must think THRICE now Edited April 2, 2007 by zeny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
