사모아 제도(Somoa Island)에 8.0 지진 해일이(AP통신및 로이터 통신)

외교통상부 관계자는 30일 "뉴질랜드 공관을 통해 잠정 집계한 결과, 이번 강진에 따른 해일로 인해 한국인 2명이 숨지고 1명이 실종된 것으로 확인됐다"며 이 같이 밝혔다고 합니다.

 

 

남태평양 지진해일…“사상자 속출”
남태평양 중부 군도의 하나인 미국령 사모아 제도 인근에서 우리시각으로 오늘 새벽 3시쯤 규모 8.0의 강진과 함께 3에서 6미터 높이의 지진해일이 발생했다고 미국 지질조사국이 밝혔습니다.

AP와 AFP 통신은 사모아 지역의 한 관리의 말을 인용해 지금까지 14명이 숨졌다고 보도했고 뉴질랜드 언론은 사모아 섬 등지의 일부 마을이 초토화되고 수십명이 실종됐다고 전했습니다.

현지 목격자들은 가옥이 무너지고 마을 전체가 파괴됐다며 주민들이 상당수 실종되고 숨지는 등 사상자가 속출하고 있다고 전했습니다.

태평양 지진경보센터는 지진 발생 직후 진앙지 인근의 해수면이 급격히 올라갔고 미국령 사모아 제도 `파고파고' 지역에는 지진해일이 곧바로 도달한 것으로 관측됐다고 밝혔습니다.

뉴질랜드와 피지 등은 지진 직후 전체 해안 지역에 걸쳐 지진해일 경보와 함께 주민들에 대해 고지대로 즉각 대피할 것을 명령했고 통가와 피지 등 태평양 인근 일대 섬들에는 지진해일 경보가 발령됐습니다.

또한 하와이와 파푸아뉴기니, 바누아투, 뉴칼레도니아 제도에도 지진해일 주의보가 내려졌습니다.

진앙지는 사모아 제도에서 남서쪽으로 204㎞ 떨어진 해저 85㎞ 지점입니다.

LOS ANGELES/WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Authorities canceled a Pacific tsunami warning on Wednesday after a huge sub-sea quake sent waves over the Samoa islands, reportedly killing about 14 people but falling short of a regional disaster.

Tsunami waves hit American Samoa, a U.S. territory, killing 14 people, and also struck the nearby nation of Samoa, killing an unknown number of people, local media and officials said. There were unconfirmed reports of waves taller than 4 meters (13 ft).

"As of right now, everybody is up in the high mountain ranges," said Senetenari Malele, announcer for local radio station Showers of Blessings. He said the local weather authority had released a statement with 14 dead in the last hour.

In nearby Western Samoa, there were also reports of an unknown number of deaths and houses destroyed, but fears of a devastating ocean-wide tsunami dissolved after the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled its warning for the region.

The warning had been issued three and a half hours earlier after an 8.0 magnitude earthquake off American Samoa.

The 2004 Asian tsunami killed about 230,000 people across 11 countries.

"I can confirm there is damage, I can confirm there are deaths and I can confirm there are casualties," a Western Samoa police spokeswoman said. "I cannot say any more at the moment."

A resident of a Western Samoan coastal village, Theresa Falele Dussey, told Radio New Zealand her house had been destroyed by wave, as were houses and cars in a nearby village.

"Several people have been calling up the radio stations to report high sea swells hitting the costal areas of Fagaloa and Siumu on the eastern side of Upolu island and along to the south," said Samoalive News (www.samoalivenews.com)

"School has been called off for the day with tsunami warnings calling for people to head to higher grounds."

The tsunami caused waves of 5.1 feet above normal sea level off American Samoa, according to the Pacific Western Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii, triggering an alert that sent people across the region fleeing for higher ground.

New Zealand authorities expected a wave of about one meter to hit the country's east coast between 2040 GMT (4:40 p.m. EDT) and 2140 GMT (5:40 p.m. EDT).

The Cook Islands and nearby Niue were also on alert but there no immediate reports of damage from either.

The region is home to tens of thousands of islanders living at sea level.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center also canceled a tsunami watch for Hawaii.

A tsunami travel time map and table generated by the United States National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center shows projected travel times for the effects of an earthquake that the center measured as having a preliminary magnitude of 8.3 occurring in the Samoa Islands Region of the Pacific Ocean on September 29, 2009. The center warns that travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave traveling those distances has actually been generated. The center reported that sea level observations indicate a tsunami was generated which may have been destructive along coasts in the source region.
