Earthquake!

Got reports from friends in Penang and Kedah and even further south in Kuala Lumpur that they felt tremors just a few minutes ago. Be careful! Earthquakes of these power are almost certain to produce a tsunami, it is just a matter of how powerful it is

Update: Contrary to people's claims, the earthquake is not as powerful as the last one. It is a 8.7 (Updated! as of now) compared with the 9.X of the Boxing Day earthquake. You are just feeling it stronger because its further south east of that quake.
