India's Tamil Nadu State Issues Tsunami Alert
Thu Dec 30, 2004 01:13 AM ET
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The state government in India's Tamil Nadu state, which bore the brunt of the Indian Ocean tsunami, on Thursday issued a tsunami alert and warned people to leave coastal areas.
Police said aftershocks in the Andaman and Nicobar islands, near the center of the huge earthquake that caused Sunday's tsunami, were "likely" to cause high waves.
Witnesses said police sirens were blaring on beaches in Tamil Nadu and residents were running away.
Go to Drudge, and look for something called "quake sheet" on the right hand lower side. that's the best indicator on if the US has detected one...

I think India is trying to be on the "ball" with this now. My guess is that we may be seeing them doing this everytime there is a quake in the area. It looks like someone in the USA this time has the correct contact numbers in India!
