Indonesia quake triggers tsunami alert (BBC) {near Aceh province, again}

[eppur_se_muova]

Indonesia has issued a tsunami warning after a powerful earthquake struck off Aceh province.

The 7.3 magnitude quake struck 423km (262 miles) south-west of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.

It had a depth of 29.1 km (18.1 miles), the USGS added.

A giant earthquake off Indonesia in December 2004 triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed some 230,000 people, half of them in Aceh.

2. I did a search for 'tsunami' before posting, and I did one just now.

Neither found a recent post.

There is no tsunami threat and there are no casualties either - as I write.



ps sorry I didn't provide an actual link earlier - was using a tablet at the time and have yet to figure how to do that on it.

4. I had found it by then -- 'tsunami' did not appear in the title, only the body --

so it fell low down in the search.

Ah, well, searches aren't perfect. I see many of my own posts in Science and E/E duplicated.
