Tsunami warning lifted after 4th quake in Indonesia

Indonesia lifted a tsunami warning issued After another strong earthquake rocked Indonesia Thursday. In 24 hours, four earthquakes have now hit Indonesia, killing least nine people, and sending fleeing to high ground in fear of Tsunamis. The latest tremor struck Sumatra island, in western Indonesia, on Thursday. It was 6.8 in magnitude, according to preliminary reports. Indonesia's meteorology agency initially issued a tsunami warning, but lifted it a few hours later.
Hundred of homes were damaged by the earthquakes, but the death toll has so far remained low. In December 2004 More than 230,000 people in 12 countries were killed by the wave and its aftermath, including 160,000 in western Indonesia.

I think many people could save from a tsunami, because geologist predicted. In December, 2004, it was very horrible, and now in the Would, there are no safe zone.
