On September 12, an 8.2 magnitude earthquake shook Indonesia. The earthquake epicentered in the Indian Ocean,
just off the coast of Sumatra. Buildings rattled as far away as Jakarta, Malaysia and Thailand. Eight people were killed, with many more injured by falling buildings.
A tsunami alert was issued for the area and about 100 houses were damaged by a 10 foot wave in Serangai,
on the western coast of Sumatra, but there were no casualties attributed to the tsunami. A tsunami watch was
posted by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center for the 24 countries surrounding the Indian Ocean including Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen and Kenya.
For more information see the
NOAA Center for Tsunami Research.
