Another large tsunami

The Solomon Islands, near Australia, suffered an 8-magnitude undersea earthquake followed by a tsunami. Details are still confused and sketchy, but there's no question that huge waves hit some inhabited areas. BBC coverage here.

The USGS earthquake animation map shows that the area has been hit by many very large aftershocks. (This map is updated constantly, showing activity over the last seven days.)
