An 8.2 quake struck off the western coastline of Indonesia. This was followed up by aftershocks in the 5's and a 6.0, which triggered a second tsunami alert. Only 3 fatalities have been confirmed thusfar.
A 9' surge was reported, but no damage. This is the same fault system which gave Indonesia the 9.1 quake and tsunami in Dec. 2004 which killed over 280,000 people.
