Well, last time. It reached Africa too. May be because of massive intensity ? Not sure..... Will update. It's just precaution to be heads up, no need for panic!

Tsunami likely to hit Little Andaman at 15:46 IST as per report. If it doesn't happen, Then Tsunami possibility won't be that real. No one knows what will happen, But i see too much Alert everywhere. Let see. Hope nothing happens!!
