Tsunami warnings have been issued for Thailand, Japan and Sri Lanka. For more information, try Google News, the International Tsunami Information Center, or the USGS site. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those in the affected countries.

From ABC News

"Blakeman said Monday's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said it was an aftershock from December's temblor but is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."

Gotta be the understatement of the day...
