Yet another earthquake. Hopefully no tsunami warnings will be issued with this one. I will be monitoring to see if we see any aftershocks from this one as well.

I am assuming this one is relatively close to the infamous Christmas Day tsunami that claimed as many lives as it did.

Haven't seen anything on the news as of yet, but will be checking and monitoring that as well.
