There are fears the death toll could rise in the Solomon Islands.
Six people were killed when the 1m-wave surge
swept through coastal communities yesterday afternoon.
There are still a number of people missing.
In the town of Lata, up to 100 homes have been destroyed.
And in Nela, 95% of homes are completely gone.
Last night, Civil Defence lifted the tsunami watch in NZ,
but says a minor threat still remains on the West Coast,
from Taranaki to Milford Sound,
warning that there may be unusual water conditions,
so people should exercise caution.
