Breaking News!

Tadi dapat sms dari sorang kawan, dia beritahu yang kawan dia kat Shah Alam terasa gempa bumi. Dua tiga kali aku baca sms tu macam tak percaya bercampur pelik. Terus aku check cnn.com & BBC News. Memang betul gempa bumi berukuran 8.2 Skala Richter terjadi di kawasan yang hampir sama dengan kejadian gempa bumi & tsunami 26 Disember tahun lepas. Moga-moga semua selamat dan takkan muncul bencana Tsunami kedua. Amin.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 8.2, "has the potential to generate a widely
destructive tsunami in the ocean or seas near the earthquake," the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned. It advised "immediate action"
including "evacuation of coasts within a thousand kilometers (600 miles) of the
epicenter and close monitoring to determine the need for evacuation further
away." The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake could cause a
"widely destructive tsunami" and it was felt as far away as Malaysia.

The quake was felt across the region with people in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, some 500km away, evacuating high-rise buildings and running out into the
streets.
