.Experts cautioned that a tsunami warning signals a potential for an oversized tidal wave, not necessarily that it is imminent.
.According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the powerful quake was centered 20 miles beneath the ocean floor around 308 miles from the provincial capital of the Indonesian island of Aceh.
.Experts said early indications were that the quake, which struck around 2:30 p.m. local time, was caused by a horizontal shift in the earths plates of a type less likely to cause severe tsunamis than vertical shifts, which tend to displace larger volumes of water.
.Footage showed terrified Indonesians pouring into the street, trying to make calls on their cell phones and hugging each other in terror, some going back into buildings to find lost colleagues.
