SUVA, Fiji (Reuters) - A tsunami warning over an earthquake that hit the Tonga islands on Thursday was canceled, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which issued the alert, said on its Web site.
The warning had said it was not known if a tsunami had been generated by the 8.1 quake but that any such wave would have hit Suva and Gisborne, New Zealand.
