The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami warning for all areas of the Indian Ocean after a 7.7 earthquake struck Nicobar Islands India Region.
A Tsunami Watch is in effect for India / Indonesia / Sri Lanka / Myanmar / Thailand / Malaysia.
Officials say earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a destructive local tsunami and sometimes a destructive regional tsunami along coasts located usually no more than a thousand kilometers from the earthquake epicenter.
It says areas further from the epicenter could experience small sea level changes and strong or unusual coastal currents.
It is not yet known whether a Tsunami was generated.

I just don’t remember so many large earthquakes in such a short period of time.
To: Parley Baer
Me either - I live in CA and I tend to notice earthquake stories.

Sheesh! My best buddy is on his way over to those countries as I write. He called from the airport at lunchtime. Could be an exciting tour for the band!

Anyone besides me realize how blessed Abby Sunderland was to have lost her mast and have to be rescued in the Indian Ocean near where all these potential Tsunamis threaten?
There is always a reason.

I see that you came to a similar conclusion.
And all those untoward remarks by so many FReepers . . . all for naught.
God knows what He’s doing. Do you know what you’re doing?

She was picked up by a fishing boat. She’s fine...and I’m sure relieved. But like all “goal” oriented floks, I’m sure she is already planning the next trip.

Are the Nicobar Islands the place where the allegedly Stone Age aboriginals live?
