Tsunami Warning After 8.9 Magnitude Indonesia Quake

A quick heads up on a developing story. Will keep you posted on potential implications for Thailand.

AP says:

Indonesia issued a tsunami warning Wednesday after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.9 hit waters off westernmost Aceh province.

People on Twitter said tremors were felt in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. High-rise apartments and offices on Malaysia’s west coast shook for at least a minute.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the powerful quake was centered 20 miles (33 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor around 308 miles (495 kilometers) from Aceh’s provincial capital.

I didn’t feel the quake here in central Bangkok, for what it’s worth.
