Kindly check below article. Pls Advice your friend to evacuate to safe place. Better be safe than sorry later on.

My wife who is in Chennai currently is supposed to go to beach along with her friends today and they cancelled it after they felt the quake. The magnitude is 2.3 as per the local news.

On the same lines, my brothers in-laws who are staying at Srikakulam also felt the quake and per them the magnitude is more. They have evacuated the entire apartment as a safety norm.

No effect felt in Hyderabad. But Vizag and Cochin friends did feel tremors.

I felt the quake at Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was mild here.
We evacuated the office, though.
Just realized that it was massive at Indonesia.

The latest news in Chennai is that Tsunami is expected to strike at 5 pm. Guys, please advice friends and family not to venture out at sea.

Was having lunch at a restaurant in Bangalore, Whitefield. I could feel the chair and table shaking!

Made the folks at the restaurant evacuate the place. Folks had office also had evac'd!

Hoping the Tsunami does not happen.

It was quite long and water was shaking kept in bottle at my desk. I was feeling mild shake in chair. I think it is last more than a minute. There could be chances of aftershocks. Please be alert.

Update from me and my near ones here in Bangalore:

Bommanahalli - between 2;15 and 2:20 PM IST - I felt my chair shaking for about 5-8 seconds (gentle rocking, as if in a trance). 10-15 seconds later, it happened again and I noticed the water in the bottle shaking mildly (remember Jurrasic Park?)

Near Silk Board - checked with my wife. People felt it there too.

Checked near Shopper's Stop, Bannerghatta Road - People felt it there too.

Checked at Electronic City - People felt it there too.

Checked in Mangalore - Felt there too.

Hoping and Praying, all is well in Indonesia and other areas.

Thanks,
