According to the British geological survey, this was a different type of earthquake that is a strike-slip quake that causes horizontal movement of the surfaces. This type of earthquake creates small waves while the thrust quake is the most dangerous as it causes the surface to move vertical causing large waves to move rapidly forward.
After some 5 hours of the earthquake, no major tsunami waves has been detected. Few above-normal waves were observed at the coast of Thailand and Indonesia though were not threatening. Tsunami warning has been lifted now!

Km bro i think tsunami will not hit Karachi because of Great Sea King HAZRAT ABDULLAH SHAH GHAZI.. Karachi will always remain safe because of that…
Till Now Karachi is safe from earthquake and cyclones because its climate is like this and not because of Abdullah Shah Ghazi. Karachi climate is very calm and we have never seen such weather event in Karachi like cyclones so do not always give credit to Shrines/Dargah.He was also human so how can he safe us from this kind of events? and this tradition is from INDIA. Secondly, True Muslims pray from ALLAH directly either in home or Mostly in MOSQUE. Ask from ALLAH directly and do not give credit to shrines because this is “kufar”. I cannot understand why people go to dargah or shrines and do not go to MOSQUE for their problems and needs?
Please stick to discussing the climate and not religion. A natural calamity can occur in any part of the world. Allah is the creater of this world and responsible for all living things. He does not discriminate between muslims and non-muslims.
Is there any relation b/w Earthquake and Climate Change?
Climate change mostly involves weather pattern but some time back, earthquake, volcanic eruption and tsunami are also added to the list of climate change.
Mr Shoabi100 .. I tHINK You not rememberd the 1999. 2003 and 2007 cyclonic conditions… YES its true that we have to only pray from Allah ! but we are not perfect naik clean human beings ..like HAZRAT LAL QALANDER. HAZRAT SHAH ABDUL LATIF BHITAI AND HAZRAT ABDULLAH SHAH GHAZI and much more others .so that shrines and dargahz are lovers and Perfect Clean Naik Human beaings of Allah ! thats why we taking there name in the Sadqa from Allah … i hope you will understand Mr Shoaibi100…. and remember one thing Karachi is safe from Tsunami or Typhoons and cyclones only because of HAZRAT ABDHULAH SHAH GHAZI .. ( Its My Humble Request To Sir Admin Babar Hussain that Please Dont ignore my that comment ! and allow to publish on page thanks sir 🙂 !
