Tsunami

This just in from the wires. This is real!
JAKARTA (Reuters) - A massive 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra Monday close to where a quake triggered a tsunami that left nearly 300,000 people dead or missing across Asia, residents and officials said.

Looks like trouble again for these poor folks. Apparently they have about 2-3 hours to evacuate for a potential tsunami heading their way. Lets pray for them.

Apparently if there's a resulting tsunami it will reach them about 4:00pm EST.

It looks like the worst is over for these people. There is a death toll of 300 and predicted as high as 2,000 but there were no reported Tsunamis on the scale of the last one.
