WarpSpeed Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nation is reporting water receding in Krabi. the tide is going out low tide is at 19.30 That's what I thought.. and that is good news as it will have much more distance to dissipate and spread out before it hits land if it does at all.. The last one was earlier in the day at high tide and that made it much worse.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Huge quake off Indonesia prompts tsunami warnings 2012-04-11 16:40:38 GMT+7 (ICT) JAKARTA, INDONESIA (BNO NEWS) -- A major earthquake struck off the west coast of northern Sumatra on early Wednesday afternoon, seismologists said, prompting tsunami warnings for multiple countries. The 8.7-magnitude earthquake at 2:38 p.m. local time (0838 GMT) was centered about 434 kilometers (269 miles) southwest of Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra. It struck about 33 kilometers (20.5 miles) deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). It was not immediately known if a tsunami was generated, but authorities in Indonesia immediately issued a tsunami warning for local coastlines as a precaution. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a warning, but issued an Indian Ocean-wide tsunami watch until it is known if a tsunami is generated. "Earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a widespread destructive tsunami that can affect coastlines across the entire Indian Ocean basin," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a bulletin. "However - it is now known that a tsunami was generated. This watch is based only on the earthquake evaluation." -- © BNO News All rights reserved 2012-04-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellforce Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm watching Nation Chanel: if a tsunami will occurs, it will come before 6PM (in less than 20mn). PS: because the earthquake was horizontal, it's impossible to predict the direction and the amplitude. That's why if nothing's hapening in Indonesia, it means nothing !

jaideecm Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The plates moved horizontal not vertical like in 2004. There will probably be little to no Tsunami unless a landslide happens under the ocean which is possible in the next day or 2. Keep watching for more alerts as after shocks will surely happen.
