A 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck 150 kilometers (93 miles) north-northwest off the coast of Kota Ternate, Indonesia, on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quake struck at 10:31 a.m. local time at a depth of 47 kilometers (29.2 miles), according to the USGS.

No Pacific-wide destructive tsunami is expected, but "hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 km (186 miles) of the earthquake epicenter," according to the National Weather Service Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The estimated time of arrival for the initial tsunami wave along Indonesia's coast is within the next six hours, the warning center said.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it will update its warning within the hour.

Do you have any idea how far away this is from Phuket? Better post in the Thai Visa Australia subforum.

Nothing to see here people. Move along.

Wrong area of the plate system to have any effect on Phuket. No worries here.

Thailand could never have been effected in the first place, but all tsunami warnings have been lifted a few minutes ago.
