Tsunami warning that wasn't



The residents of Chennai had a sleepless Monday night. They were woken up by tremors caused by a powerful earthquake off the Andaman islands a little past midnight. Tremors lasting about 20 seconds were triggered by a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean about 270 kms north of Port Blair.
The tremors brought back memories of the 2004 tsunami.
