This morning I recorded a large Mw 7.5 Quake just offshore of New Ireland, PNG

First image is the high gain vertical output from my Force Balanced Vertical seismometer

This second image is the output from the same seismometer by a low gain channel

info from the USGS

Tho a tsunami alert was issued
no significant tsunami was recorded/
This is mainly due to the fact that the event was primarily a strike-slip fault motion
