"This earthquake has the potential to generate a
widely destructive tsunami in the ocean or seas
near the earthquake," the warning center said
in an advisory it issued just after the quake rumbled
through the area.
"Authorities in those regions should be aware
of this possibility and take immediate action,"
it said. "This action should include evacuation
of coasts within a thousand kilometers of the
epicenter and close monitoring to determine
the need for evacuation further away."

It struck just before midnight local time
with an estimated magnitude of 8.2, and
caused widespread panic. There were
unconfirmed reports of casualties from
the tremor as people left coastal areas of Sumatra.
Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and India are
also on alert after forecasts of a "widely destructive tsunami".
The quake struck between the Sumatran cities of
Padang and Medan at around 2315 local time
(1615 GMT) and lasted up to three minutes, according
to Indonesia's Meteorological and Geophysics Office.
Its epicentre was located at about 200km
(125 miles) off the Sumatran mainland.
