There was a 7.7 Richters Earthquake that was then downgraded to a 7.5 near Kokopo, Papua New Guinea this week, although no tsunami ever resulted even though many "Tsunami Alerts" were being broadcast. List of nearby places and felt reports are all pretty much out there in the islands region and none as of this writing from Australia or New Zealand. There was never any tsunami alerts issued beyond about 600 miles from the epicenter, either, and that hardly covers this region of many thousands of miles and lots of islands, too!!! No tsunami at all ever resulted from this shaker.

Now with upwards of 200 felt reports, here's a big 6.1 Panama/Costa Rica Earthquake from earlier this week:
