I didn't feel it either. TV channels claimed that there was a mild tremor in Koyambedu and Nungambakkam.

It was basically Andaman-Nicobar.

Thats all I know.

Hope everything is fine.

HA! No Tsunami! but damn, tremors in Chennai are rare, I missed it :-(

Thad E Ginathom · 27th June 2008, 23:41

I think I was driving at that time; didn't notice anything. Glad there was no serious damage.

WEird, Chennai is supposed to be in the "safe zone" with very minimal chance for tremors.

Wow..we did not get a tsunami..btw, only a few areas had the effect of an earthquake.. There was a earthquake reported at Indonesia around the same time.

The rains were worth enjoying though!
