 Earthquakes of this size sometimes have potential to generate 
 Regional tsunamis that can be destructive along the coast located 
 within 1000 KM of the earthquake epicenter. Authorities in the region 
 of the epicenter should be aware of this possibility. However, so far 
 there is no confirmation about the triggering of a tsunami. An

 and report if any tsunami wave activity has occurred.
