TSUNAMI WARNING as 8.7 Magnitude EARTHQUAKE Hits Aceh INDONESIA The undersea earthquake struck just after 2.30pm local time (6.38pm AEST) and at a depth of 33 kilometers. The quake's epicenter was located 431 kilometers southwest of Banda Aceh on the island of Sumatra. An Indian Ocean-wide tsunami watch was put in place immediately following the quake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. The tsunami watch was in place for 28 countries, including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Burma and Thailand. The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no tsunami threat to the Australian mainland, islands or territories. A spokesman for the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said: ''Earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a widespread destructive tsunami that can affect coastlines across the entire Indian Ocean basin.'' Amy Vaughn, from the USGS, told Sky News that experts were working to determine precisely where the earthquake occurred and how strong it was. "With an earthquake of this magnitude ... what happens is that basically a large body of water is disturbed by the movement of the fault," she said. "Being this close to the west coast of Sumatra, it could be devastating for the region." People living along India's eastern coast were told to move away from the shore, Sky News reported. Tremors were felt in the cities of Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore. The Indian National Center for Ocean Information Service was quick to issue a red high <b>...</b>

Jakarta, Indonesia -- A massive earthquake struck off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Wednesday afternoon, triggering a tsunami alert for the Indian Ocean. The quake struck about 434 kilometers (270 miles) southwest of Banda Aceh, the capital of Indonesia's Aceh province, and had a magnitude of 8.6, the US Geological Survey said. It took place at a depth of 23 kilometers (14 miles). The tremor revived fearful memories of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in the region in 2004 that killed tens of thousands of people. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said Wednesday that it had issued a tsunami watch for the entire Indian Ocean, and the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said it had put up a tsunami warning. The Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said on local television that there were no reports of casualties or damage in Aceh so far. The areas most at risk of a tsunami are coastal areas of Aceh, particularly the island of Simeulue, Prih Harjadi, an official for the Indonesian geophysics agency said on Metro TV. The earthquake appears to have involved a horizontal movement rather than a vertical movement, so it is less likely that it will generate a tsunami, said Gary Gibson from the Seismology Research Center in Melbourne, Australia. He also said that the tremor took place a long way offshore and was therefore unlikely to have caused much damage itself. The power has gone out in Banda Aceh and residents are <b>...</b>

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology rated the earthquake at between magnitude 6 and 7, while the US geological survey said it was magnitude 6.7. Photograph: Rolex Dela Pena/EPA One child died and a local tsunami alert was issued after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake followed by two aftershocks struck off the Philippines island of Negros on Monday morning. The Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said it warned residents along coastal areas to be on the watch for unusual waves as it raised a tsunami alert at level two but did not order evacuations. The institute warned structurally weak buildings may sustain damages. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said that based on all available data a Pacific-wide tsunami was not expected. People rushed out of schools, malls and offices during the quake. Officials in some areas suspended work and cancelled classes. A child died when a concrete fence of a house collapsed in Taysan town in Negros Oriental province, said Benito Ramos, who heads the Office of Civil Defence. A mall in San Carlos city in neighbouring Negros Occidental province was damaged when its windows were shattered by the shaking, he said. The quake was also felt in Cebu, where it lasted about 30 seconds. The Philippines is located in the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common.

Please remember to subscribe and spread the love. You can also visit www.JasonVitug.com My cousin and I were by the old section of Cebu near the shoreline looking at the oldest home called the Yan-Sandeigo home and all of a sudden we just start hearing honking from motorcycles and cars and people running and screaming. I couldn't understand what was going on until two people screamed at us, "tidal wave" and "run." No clue where to go just ran with the locals as fast as we could. It's scary not knowing where or how fast something you can't see. Just images of tsunamis that played on TV were on my mind.
The topography of the sea floor surrounding Crescent City makes it particularly susceptible to tsunamis. According to researchers at Humboldt State University and the University of Southern California, the city experienced tsunami conditions 31 times between the years 1933 and 2008. Although many of these incidents were barely perceptible, eleven events included wave measurements exceeding one meter, four events caused damage, and one event in particular is commonly cited as "the largest and most destructive recorded tsunami to ever strike the United States Pacific Coast." ---- The search continues for one person missing off the coast of Northern California after a tsunami caused by a deadly earthquake in Japan swept across the Pacific Ocean. Three people taking pictures of the surf near the mouth of the Klamath River, about 20 miles south of Crescent City, Calif., were surprised by large waves and swept into the water, said Cindy Henderson, emergency services officer for Del Norte County. Two of the people struggled out of the surf and a male in his 20s is still missing, and is now the focus of a search and rescue operation, said a Coast Guard spokesman. The tsunami, which has prompted warnings along the west coast and in Hawaii, was created after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake rocked Japan's eastern coast. A 30-foot tsunami hit northern Japan, engulfing buildings and cars. Japanese media reported nearly 200 people had died in the quake--the most powerful to hit the country <b>...</b>

A tsunami watch was issued for countries across the Indian Ocean after a 8.6-magnitude earthquake, the eight worst in the last 100 years, hit waters off Indonesia on Wednesday, triggering widespread panic as residents along coastlines fled to high ground in cars and on the backs of motorcycles. But earthquake and tsunami experts say that quake was horizontal and not vertical, lessening the threat of a tsunami. The National Disaster Management Authority in India said that there was no likelihood of tsunami being formed anywhere in the Indian Ocean. The US Geological Survey said the 8.6-magnitude quake was centered 20 miles (33 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor around 269 miles (434 kilometers) from Aceh's provincial capital. 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. According to earlier reports the tsunami waves were likely to be more than 6 metres high. A tsunami watch means there is the potential for a tsunami, not that one is imminent. Said, an official at Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency who goes by only one name, said a tsunami warning has been issued for cities all along the coast of Sumatra island. Residents in Banda Aceh are already moving to higher ground. There was chaos in the streets, with fierce shaking continuing <b>...</b>
