Have you felt the shaking? If Yes, tell us by using the I FELT IT form behind the earthquake or at the bottom of this page.
Using our EQ Report iOS or Android app would even be easier and very informative (links in banner above this text).
–
Update 22:09 UTC: TSUNAMI TRHEAT for the beaches near the epicenter location.
Update 22:03 UTC: PNG has regular earthquakes of this Magnitude and even stronger.
Update 22:01 UTC: The same area of New Britain had a couple of almost identical earthquakes (same Magnitude and depth) several months ago. At that time only limited damage occurred.
Update 22:01 UTC: Based on the present earthquake parameters (Magnitude, Depth, Population, etc) and our experience with earthquake damage impact, earthquake-report.com does expect at least some slight damage like cracks in walls, fallen tiles, etc.
Most important Earthquake Data:
Magnitude : 7
Local Time (conversion only below land) : Unknown
GMT/UTC Time : 2018-10-10 20:48:18
