New Zealand and the Solomon Islands sit on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific where earthquakes are common.</s>A strong 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand’s remote Kermadec Islands on Wednesday but authorities said there was no tsunami threat. The quake struck at 4.19pm at a depth of 111 kilometres, with its epicentre 770 kilometres northeast of Auckland, the US Geological Survey said.

“Based on all available data, there is no tsunami threat from this earthquake,” the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

The uninhabited Kermadecs are New Zealand’s northernmost islands. They are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a hotbed of volcanic and earthquake activity at the intersection of several tectonic plates.</s>Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must pay for all they get.</s>A cluster of earthquake has been felt across New Zealand, raising brief fears of a tsunami.

An earthquake struck around 4.19pm(NZT) on Monday. The magnitude 6.7 quake happened 785km north-east of Whakatane, south of Kermadec Islands, according to GeoNet.

The Ministry of Civil Defence warned the 130km deep earthquake could create a tsunami that could affect New Zealand.

It tweeted moments later that following an assesment, it was unlikely for a tsunami to hit.

The country was rattled by a series of moderate shakes that were felt across both islands, from the Bay of Plenty to Gisborne and towards Wellington around the same time.

The top of the south island also reported feeling the shake.

Since going undrafted out of California back in 2014, Solomon has bounced around and played for a handful of teams overseas, as well as a stint in the G-League. Most recently, Solomon took part in 19 games with Usak Sportlif of the Turkish BSL, where he averaged 9.9 points and 4.8 rebounds across 18.4 minutes. He returned to the United States to play for the Hawks' summer league team this past July and while Atlanta didn't end up offering him, the Thunder will give Solomon a shot to compete in training camp. Considering it's an Exhibit 10 deal, the Thunder will have the ability to convert Solomon to a two-way deal for the upcoming campaign if he impresses in camp.
