Re: Tsunami.....
It was on the news last night, somewhere in Java. It was only a metre high so not really much to get excited about (well not compared to the last one, anyway).

Re: Tsunami.....
Tsunami warnings were issued by the Bureau of Met, but they also established very quickly that it wouldn't have a significant effect on the Australian mainland.
BBC has the story here

Death toll is still rising:
At least 201 people have been killed by a tsunami that smashed into the southern coast of Java following an undersea earthquake.
The head of the crisis centre at Indonesia's health ministry Rustam Pakaya said the figures were compiled from six districts across Central and West Java provinces.
"According to our data, 201 have died, 295 are injured and 125 are missing," Rustam Pakaya said.
The official added that 20 tonnes of medical supplies and food had been sent to the affected areas from the capital, Jakarta.
