Is this big enough to produce a Tsunami? Apparently maybe only a small localised one, but I'm supposed to be getting the ferry from Lombok to Bali shortly and two of those have already burnt down the last 2 weeks! | |||||||||||||||||

A ferry in the open ocean is one of the safer places to be during a tsunami. Remember, it's not a surf-style wave, but a gradual increase in water level. | |||||||||||||||||

Indonesia's tsunami bulletins appear to be here: https://rtsp.bmkg.go.id/publicbull.php They've declared the event over - some waves were generated but nothing particularly large. Bulletin 3 for the recent quake includes wave height observations - maximum reported was 94cm; most were under 50cm. | |||||||||||||||||

I've seen "possible tsunami" pre-warnings, and a sea level gauge at/near Lembar showing sea level oscillations - so I would recommend keeping a close watch on some information source that's better than HN comment threads, yes. | |||||||||||||||||

I would upgrade the ferry and make sure to get a high quality one given all the swell in the ocean already (most of bali had 6ft+ waves yesterday) and this incident. Not worth the risk. | |||||||||||||||||

Tsunamis are only an issue close to shore. In the ocean it's barely a mild wave. In a boat going further out is the safest thing you can do if there's a tsunami warning. | |||||||||||||||||

Easily big enough, but how deep it was generated and how the movements happened do impact the risk a lot. | |||||||||||||||||

the tsunami risk is negligible compared to the fire risk | |||||||||||||||||

Interesting times for the ferry indeed | |||||||||||||||||
