Coastal communities in the north-east breathed a sigh of relief as powerful waves triggered by a magnitude 7.4 earthquake failed to cause widespread destruction. The seismic event, which struck early yesterday morning, sent shockwaves through the region, prompting fears of a devastating tsunami. However, despite the initial concerns, emergency services have reported no major damage or casualties, and residents are beginning to emerge from their homes after being evacuated as a precaution. As the full extent of the damage becomes clear, officials are likely to assess the impact of the earthquake and the subsequent wave activity on local infrastructure and marine life.
