That's was scary. A massive earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck off India's Andaman Islands on Tuesday morning. A second earthquake, which generated a tsunami and injured dozens of people, struck Japan only minutes later.
The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.6, struck 160 miles north of Port Blair on the Andaman Islands of India, the United States Geological Survey reported. It happened at 1.55 a.m. local time and struck about 20 miles deep. It was initially reported as a 7.7 magnitude earthquake, but was quickly revised.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said Monday that a regional tsunami watch is in place for India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh.
