Wow - and a big one too. This area is getting hammered. I hope that the devistation is minimal this time, seems like they were just starting to recover from the Dec. 26 one.

they say already hundreds dead...lets hope that it doesnt produce a large Tsunami.

Oh man, even the aftershocks were massive.

My prayers go out to the victims. Hopefully what learned from the December 26th Tsunami has allowed for a better warning system.

Eventually, yes, but I think it's too early to have any new systems in place. At least now they know to be wary of the possibility.

Sydney Morning Herald also reorts on the latest earthquake/tsunami :

I also send my prayers out to the victims.

No tsunamis. Probably too close to shore to build up momentum.
