An underwater earthquake has made itself aware near Tonga in the southern Pacific. Authorities issued, then soon lifted, a tsunami advisory.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.3 quake was centered 132 miles east-southeast of Neiafu, Tonga, at a depth of 15 miles. It predicted strong shaking but said the probability of serious damage or casualties was small.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning System issued and later lifted a tsunami advisory, which is one step below a tsunami warning.
