Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 09/12/2007 at 4:37AM PDT

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning or watch is in effect for these areas.

Based on the location of the event being outside the Pacific Basin, the earthquake was not sufficient to generate a tsunami damaging to California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. Residents in the Indian Ocean region should refer to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center message.

At 4:10 AM Pacific Daylight Time on September 12, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.9 occurred southern Sumatera, Indonesia.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center will issue messages for Indian Ocean countries and other areas of the Pacific outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.

This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave was generated.)
