Update on latest SE Asia earthquake
Looks like they've dodge the bullet water-wise - any tsunami headed for Banda Aceh should have arrived by now - but other reports say there's widespread damage to buildings and dozens of lives lost in Indonesia. Don't know about India yet. Hat tip: Drudge.SYDNEY : A 10-centimetre tsunami rolled into Australia's remote Cocos Island early on Tuesday following a powerful earthquake off Indonesia, Australian authorities reported. "The Bureau of Meteorology has reported a 10-centimetre tsunami was measured by the tide gauge at Cocos Island," Geoscience Australia said. *snip* Cocos was hit by a 50-centimetre tsunami following the December 26 earthquake off Sumatra, but no damage was caused. Cocos Island lies south of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean. - AFP Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2005-03-28 |
