Indonesia Earthquake Said to Kill 13

"Four people died in Thailand in the southern tourist resort of Phuket, said Sorat Susaeng of the Narenthorn Center of the Public Health Ministry. The center also reported that people were swept away in Phuket by a tsunami with waves surging as high as 16 feet.

Massive tidal waves in Sri Lanka — some 1,000 miles west of the quake's epicenter — forced authorities to shut operations at some ports. In southern and eastern Sri Lanka waves caused flash floods, displacing thousands of people, witnesses and police said. There was no immediate reports of casualties."
