Indian Ocean tsunami watch issued for Aceh quake. Tsunami is unlikely but not impossible!

I think people got scared because of the damage done by the last tsunami. This more is more of a danger to Indonesia and surrounding countries and Mauritius will only experience after effects of the tsunami, so I doubt there's going to be any threat here.

Many parents are telling their children to come home early in case there will be heavy traffic. From the latest news I got here, some teachers/lecturers finished their class early.

Precaution is better than cure, even if I guess now that Mauritius is safe.

This is the list of countries being alerted :

INDONESIA / INDIA / SRI LANKA / AUSTRALIA / MYANMAR / THAILAND / MALDIVES / UNITED KINGDOM / MALAYSIA / MAURITIUS / REUNION / SEYCHELLES / PAKISTAN / SOMALIA / OMAN / MADAGASCAR / IRAN / UAE / YEMEN / COMORES / BANGLADESH / TANZANIA / MOZAMBIQUE / KENYA / CROZET ISLANDS / KERGUELEN ISLANDS / SOUTH AFRICA / SINGAPORE

Don't think it reached Mauritius though, since no alert has been issued by the government till now.
Have something to say?
