The 2010 Solomon Islands earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 7.1 on January 3 at 22:36:28 (UTC). A tsunami measuring approximately 10 feet (3.0 meters) affected some parts of the islands, while a maximum run-up height of 23.0 feet (7.0 meters) was recorded. The earthquake was the largest in a series of quakes to strike the Solomon Islands over the preceding days.[3] The 7.1 mainshock was preceded by a 6.6 magnitude foreshock some 48 minutes previous. As many as 1,000 people were left homeless on the island of Rendova after the earthquake and tsunami destroyed approximately 200 homes.
