Although some 500 miles away from land, the estimated 7.9 quake that happened roughly an hour ago off the west coast of Indonesia could trigger a devastating tsunami.
If a tsunami should occur, speeds of up to 600 mph means that parts of that region could begin feeling effects between now and several minutes hereafter.
Updates later.
