Carmine6 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recent...db2.php#details CNBC ticker just crossed this. No other info that I could find so far other than the US Geological Survey website. On the map it is up toward Myanmar. There was some ticker about Tsunami warning, but I missed whether there was one or was not one. Please be careful on the western coastal areas until more info comes out.
