    150km West of Invercargill?

    It would hit New Caledonia before it hit either of those?

    7.8 is a big quake. I do hope this doesnt do too much damage.

    Just reported on Talksport as 7.8 also. 'Huge', they say.

    Brazil says 7.8 so it could be a different one, or just measured in a different place. A Tsunami warning has been issued which obviously could affect Sydney in OZ.
