Tonga Earthquake March 19, 2009

The earthquake in the Tonga region, March 19, 2009 18:17:40 GMT Magnitude 7.9 recorded at Keele University.

Although a tsunami alert was issued for this earthquake it was later withdrawn. Probably a bit too deep. Probably not associated with the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai eruption as too far away.

Recorded at Keele as part of the KAP-SEIS project, part of the UK Seismometers for Schools network.
