Nicobars - affected by last year's tsunami. 7.0 - borderline strong enough to generate tsunamis. Let's hope it was under the borderline.
Won't be too many people on the beaches today. Hope no one is hurt.

I won't be able to bird dog this thread, so if anyone is interested...
I didn't feel anything.
Bump/Ping
Not very deep, either. Only 10KM.
Local news here in Thailand is going nuts over this. From what I understand, they have evacuated coastal areas like Phuket already just in case.

I hope they are providing adequate notice to people in the region to keep an eye open for tsunami.
Then again, after December 26th, I doubt they've stopped thinking about tsunamis.

Thai news reporting the water level has dropped some in the coastal areas. It is nowhere near what happened during the December tsunami but they are not lifting the warning yet.
