Solomons quake and tsunami 'leave 1,000 homeless'

From the BBC:

Landslides and a tsunami triggered by a quake in the South Pacific's Solomon Islands have left some 1,000 people homeless, say officials.

Aftershocks continued on Tuesday after Monday's quakes - the largest of which was magnitude 7.2.

This quake led to a tsunami with waves of eight feet (2.5m) in some areas.

It led to widespread panic, according to eyewitnesses, but officials said there had been no reports of serious injury or deaths.

About 200 houses were destroyed on remote Rendova island, some 190 miles (300km) from the capital Honiara, officials said.
