A tsunami caused by a powerful earthquake off Samoa will not threaten Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology and Geoscience Australia say.
Waves 1.57 metres tall hit American Samoa, while 0.7 metre waves were recorded in Samoa following the earthquake on Wednesday morning, with a tsunami warning issued for a large swathe of the South Pacific including Fiji and New Zealand.
However, a brief statement issued by the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre, operated by the Bureau of Meteorology and Geoscience Australia, said Australia would not be impacted by the tsunami.
"There is no tsunami threat to the Australian mainland, islands or territories," the statement said.
