Update – For update on Nepal, Delhi and Kolkata Earthquake on 25th April – Click here
Just a few minutes back, tremors have been experienced across different parts of Bangalore and other areas in Karnataka. But these earthquakes are not limited to karnataka or even India.
The earthquake was of the magnitude of 8.7 and originated from a point in Indian Ocean closer to Indonesia. An alert for Tsunami has been initiated in Indonesia. The 2004 tsunami was due to an earthquake of 9.1 magnitude. Just to be clear, alert for tsunami does not mean that a tsunami is in progress but the earthquake’s magnitude has the potential to cause one.
Here’s the latest report shared by ptwc.weather.gov. Did you feel it??
