Awesome events happening before our very eyes:
Quake lifts Solomons island out of the sea.
In an instant, the grinding of the Earth's tectonic plates in the 8.0 magnitude earthquake Monday forced the island of Ranongga up three metres (10 foot).
"It just shows the incredible force of the earthquake, to move a whole island."
She said the reefs around Ranongga were a protected marine environment and locals had worked hard with WWF in recent years to ensure that they were managed sustainably.
"Now it's another marine environment that has been destroyed," she said.
We are so tiny. Island lifted 10 feet.
