The BBC weatherforecast is not so optimistic and have also slated misty weather.

It's not unkown to have another 7+Mag quake in the same week as another.
And that Tonga site is still ringing loud and clear.

More likely for a mag 7 or higher to strike on the other side of the earth though.
Still I must say, those so called aftershocks are somewhat persuasive.

I have just remembered that the other side of the planet from Tonga and
the Fijian Islands is smack dab in the middle of Hurricane territory.
Nothing in the news at the moment unless you count a ship in trouble.
It doesn't soun like the sort of thing that happens with muzzy thinking
though.

The likely tornadic / thunder-storm activity has moved from NW to
Central Texas. But no more forecasts of mists on the TV.

So it is probable it was a false alarm.
