This is the 2nd tsunami watch we received in 2 weeks due to the American Samoa earthquake on September 30, 2009. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Vanuatu about 2 hours ago but there are no reports yet of any possible damage. Vanuatu is much closer to Saipan vs. American Samoa so we are all watching this one much closer! We hope that the people of Vanuatu are all right and that the tremors do not cause damaging waves elsewhere.
Okay, it looks like people are Twittering that they are okay in Vanuatu.
Take care and ti napu (literally, no waves)!

Thank God! Do you receive email updates from EMO?
Yes I do, Deece. Thank goodness that this did not generate any tsunamis. Take care!
How does one, like me, go about doing something like that?
For one thing, watch your fingers while serging. Hehehe!
