MASSIVE 8.7 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Indonesia -- Tsunami Watch In Place For The Entire Indian Ocean

Indonesia issued a tsunami warning Wednesday after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.9 hit waters off westernmost Aceh province.
People on Twitter said tremors were felt in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. High-rise apartments and offices on Malaysia's west coast shook for at least a minute.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami watch was in effect for Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Maldives and other Indian Ocean islands, Malaysia, Pakistan, Somalia, Oman, Iran, Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa and Singapore.


A tsunami watch means there is the potential for a tsunami, not that one is imminent.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the powerful quake was centered 20 miles (33 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor around 308 miles (495 kilometers) from Aceh's provincial capital.
Said, an official at Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency who goes by only one name, said a tsunami warning has been issued.
Indonesia straddles a series of fault lines that makes the vast island nation prone to volcanic and seismic activity.
A giant 9.1-magnitude quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, nearly three quarter of them in Aceh.

Maayo unta na this time unlike sa 2004, damay ra unya ang mamatay kay pait kaayo basta mag lingog sa western part sa Indonesia kay ang kilid niana kay fault na ga-utlanan sa Indo-Australian plate ug Eurasian plate, expected jud perme ang Tsunami.

There's a possibility to generate tsunami with that magnitude however our country will not be affected because we are surrounded by Pacific Ocean. Let's pray for our safety.
