Topic Summary

There was an 8.6 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, followed by an 8.2 aftershock.

Although the tremor was felt as far away as Bangkok, there have been no reports of deaths or destruction so far.

A tsunami alert was issued for the entire Indian Ocean, but has now been lifted.

Linking the CNN reports as the information on earthquakes and tsunamis is quite interesting:

Enough foreigners in Phuket haven't learnt from the last one. In spite of locals running for the hills local Thai TV stations were saying foreign tourists were running for the beaches.
