Tsunami in the Solomon Islands
The BBC reports that at least 12 people have died in the Solomon Islands after a tsunami swept ashore following a strong undersea earthquake in the South Pacific, which struck at 0740 local time on Monday 2nd April 2007 and measured 8.0.
The main town in the western Solomons, Gizo, was hit by waves several metres high that swamped buildings and washed people out to sea, officials said.

Hi Kathryn.
Well done for blogging about this interesting tsunami. In Year 13 at the moment we are looking in detail at the 2004 Tsunami so this will prove to be a good further case study. I also really like your Sand Dune Powerpoint. Good find. I'll use parts of it next year.
Keep on blogging!
