From the BBC:
'A strong earthquake measuring 8.0 has rocked the Pacific island nation of Tonga, reports say.
The US Geological Survey said the quake was centred about 155km (95 miles) south of the island of Neiafu and north-east of the capital, Nuku'alofa.
It struck at 0426 local time (1526 GMT), the USGS said.
There was no immediate word of damage or casualties, but the USGS said a tsunami warning was in effect for Tonga, Fiji and the Samoan islands.
Earthquakes as strong as magnitude 8.0 could trigger a lethal tsunami, depending on conditions and the nature of the quake. '
