A massive 8.7 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of the Indonesian Island of Sumatra – near the northern area of Banda Aceh. The quake was centered deep below the ocean’s surface, and it has prompted tsunami warnings throughout the region. This is in the same vicinity as the quake that caused the horrific tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of people in 2004. No word yet on casualties, if any, from this quake.

Below is raw video of the moments following the quake as Indonesians on Sumatra headed for higher ground as tsunami warnings were issued:
