Indian Ocean Region: Tsunami Warning

It looks like Sri Lanka, Thialand, and Indonesia are telling those living in low lying areas to move to higher ground. Since a good chunk of our readers are in Asia we hope the best and that you have already made it to a safe location. Sri Lanka issued a warning that the earthquake may spawn a tsunami that would reach Sri Lanka’s shores by about 3 a.m. Tuesday (4 p.m. ET USA Monday). With a few hours to go we urge anyone within 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) of the epicenter (just west of Indonesia) to evacuate coastal regions.
