Tsunami waves of up to 1m possible in Ecuador after 7.8 quake | 17 April 2016 |
A strong 7.8 earthquake has struck Ecuador’s coastline, triggering a possible tsunami wave warning along some 300 miles of the coasts of both Ecuador and Colombia. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center forecast waves of up to one meter above the tide level. Initially reported as 7.4 by USGS, the earthquake was centered at a shallow depth of 10 km (6 miles) some 107 miles (173 km) west northwest of the capital Quito. Some 10 minutes prior to the 7.8 jolt, the same area was hit by a 4.8 magnitude quake.
