Update : 'Small' tsunami detected


According to CNN’s latest news, tsunami has been detected in Indian Ocean after 8.7 temblor. So it was not 8.2 or 8.5, but 8.7!!

“(CNN) -- Fifty people were killed and about 300 homes were destroyed on the island of Nias, near the epicenter of a massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Indonesia on Monday, a government official there told CNN.
About 100 people were injured, and many others were believed buried under rubble, Agus Mendrova said.

Half an hour after the quake, an aftershock of magnitude 6.0 struck the same region, the USGS said. Two hours later, yet another struck, this one 6.7.


Officials in Kuala Lumpur issued an official tsunami warning for the west coast of Malaysia and the east coast of Sumatra. The warning has a six-hour window, and is based on the December earthquake, which struck at 9 a.m. local time and was followed four hours later by the tsunami.”
