Tsunami Warning Sends People to High Ground in French Polynesia

Storyful

People took to higher ground on the French Polynesian island of Mo’orea on Friday, March 5, after a series of earthquakes led to tsunami warnings across the Pacific.

An 8.1-magnitude earthquake near the Kermadec Islands was the strongest of three large quakes recorded in the region on March 4.

Sea levels were expected to rise by a meter above mean sea level in French Polynesia, the US Tsunami Warning System said.
