Exclamation Another Major Earthquake

From Google:

Earthquake information

Another major earthquake has struck the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sumatra. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the quake at 8.7 magnitude. Tsunami warnings have been issued for Thailand, Japan and Sri Lanka. For more information, try Google News, the International Tsunami Information Center, or the USGS site. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those in the affected countries.

From ABC News

"Blakeman said Monday's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said it was an aftershock from December's temblor but is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."

Gotta be the understatement of the day...
