I am not sure about the rotation of the Earth being affected Brent, but if so, very scary stuff...
Look for the death toll on this earthquake to approach 20K if not more...Densely populated areas have been totally cut off from communication.

"All the planet is vibrating" from the quake, said Enzo Boschi, the head of Italy's National Geophysics Institute. Speaking on SKY TG24 TV, Boschi said the quake even disturbed the Earth's rotation.
The U.S. Geological Survey (news - web sites) measured the quake at a magnitude of 8.9. Geophysicist Julie Martinez said it was the world's fifth-largest since 1900 and the largest since a 9.2 temblor hit Prince William Sound Alaska in 1964.

Over 11,000 now. 
India
Over 3,200 killed (1724 in Tamil Nadu, over 1000 in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 280 in Pondichery, 121 in Kerala and 61 in Andhra Pradesh). Hundreds feared missing (800 in Andhra Pradesh alone).
Indonesia
Some 4,422 killed on the island of Sumatra. Dozens of buildings destroyed in the initial earthquake, especially in the city of Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra. However, most deaths were the result of the tsunami that struck, in particular, western coastal regions of Aceh and North Sumatra provinces. An accurate picture of the damage is difficult due to the ongoing insurgency of the Free Aceh Movement, which means that there are few journalists, government offices, or aid workers in the region. Indonesian government officials are concerned at the lack of communication with towns along the southwestern coast of Sumatra.
Malaysia
53 killed, 38 in Penang, 12 in Kedah, 2 in Perak and one in Selangor, 34 missing.
Maldives
15 killed and the death toll is expected to rise. Two-thirds of the capital city Malé was flooded during the early hours of the day. Outlying low-level atolls were badly affected and some low lying islands were completely submerged during the high tide. The government has declared a state of emergency and a special task force has been setup to provide aide and supplies to the needy in the islands. Communications services has been badly affected and there was no prior rescue or relief plan whatsoever for a disaster like this.
Sri Lanka
At least 4,500 killed, mostly children and elderly. One million people have been displaced from their ruined homes. At Trincomalee, the tsunami reached more than 2 km inland. The government states that it has little information on the situation in the northern regions controlled by the rebel Tamil Tigers. 20,000 soldiers were deployed in government-controlled areas to assist in relief operations and maintain law and order after sporadic looting. Local media reported that landmines left after the two decade civil war had been washed up and spread by the surge of water.
The government reports at least 3000 dead in the south, while an official Tamil Tiger website reports 1500 dead in rebel areas.
Thailand
400 feared killed, 289 confirmed, 1,100 injured. 100 tourists, mainly scuba divers, are reported missing. The popular tourist resort of Phuket was badly hit. Hundreds of holiday bungalows on the Phi Phi Islands were washed out to sea.
Bangladesh: 2 killed due to the tremors. No reports of tsunamis.
Cocos (Keeling) Islands: After earlier scares, no casualties were reported.
Réunion: Many boats sunk.
Seychelles: 2 reportedly killed.
Somalia: 9 drowned and fishing boats were capsized. The only African nation to report casualties, though alerts were issued for the coasts of eastern Africa.
India
Over 3,200 killed (1724 in Tamil Nadu, over 1000 in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 280 in Pondichery, 121 in Kerala and 61 in Andhra Pradesh). Hundreds feared missing (800 in Andhra Pradesh alone).

No reports yet apparently from the Chagos Archipeligo where the US has a large Milittary base in Diego Garcia. These are islands much like the Maldives and Seychelles and in the same general location. Since this was a basin wide Tsunami in the IO it's likely that Diego Garcia got hit.
This was a classic great subduction zone earthquake on the order of magnitude of the one that occurred on the Cascadia Subduction Zone in January 1700 and which is expected to repeat so there's a lesson in this one. All big earthquakes are recorded on seismographs world wide-this is how they are able to determine the Moment Magnitude estimates since in most cases the close in sensors are saturated (however, the 1964 9.2 in AK and the 1960 9.5 in Chile saturated seismographs all around the world-both those shocks triggered Basin wide Tsunamis in the Pacific). The Tectonic deformation in these great subduction zone shocks is so extensive that the energy transmitted into the Earth is enough to vibrate the whole Planet which in turn can easily affect the rotational moment.

Several of my friends are down in India for winter break, but i do not think they were in the path of these tidal waves. They are all in my prayers

System Might Have Reduced Tsunami Toll
The catastrophic death toll in Asia caused by a massive tsunami might have been reduced had India and Sri Lanka been part of an international warning system designed to warn coastal communities about potentially deadly waves, scientists say.
Some 5,300 people in India and Sri Lanka were among the nearly 10,000 people killed after being hit by walls of water triggered by a tremendous earthquake early Sunday off Sumatra.
The warning system is designed to alert nations that potentially destructive waves may hit their coastlines within three to 14 hours. Scientists said seismic networks recorded Sunday's massive earthquake, but without wave sensors in the region, there was no way to determine the direction a tsunami would travel.
A single wave station south of the earthquake's epicenter registered tsunami activity less than 2 feet high heading south toward Australia, researchers said.
The waves also struck resort beaches on the west coast of the Thailand's south peninsula, killing hundreds. Although Thailand belongs to the international tsunami warning network, its west coast does not have the system's wave sensors mounted on ocean buoys.
The northern tip of the earthquake fault is located near the Andaman Islands, and tsunamis appear to have rushed eastward toward the Thai resort of Phuket on Sunday morning when the community was just stirring.
"They had no tidal gauges and they had no warning," said Waverly Person, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., which monitors seismic activity worldwide. "There are no buoys in the Indian Ocean and that's where this tsunami occurred."
The tsunami was triggered by the most powerful earthquake recorded in the past 40 years.
The earthquake, whose magnitude was a staggering 8.9, unleashed walls of water more than two stories high to the west across the Bay of Bengal, slamming into coastal communities 1,000 miles away. Hours after the quake, Sumatra was struck by a series of powerful aftershocks.
Researchers say the earthquake broke on a fault line deep off the Sumatra coast, running north and south for about 600 miles or as far north as the Andaman and Nicobar islands between India and Mynamar.
"It's a huge rupture," said Charles McCreary, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center near Honolulu. "It's conceivable that the sea floor deformed all the way along that rupture, and that's what initiates tsunamis."
Tsunamis as large and destructive as Sunday's typically happen only a few times in a century.
A tsunami is not a single wave, but a series of traveling ocean waves generated by geological disturbances near or below the ocean floor. With nothing to stop them, these waves can race across the ocean like the crack of a bullwhip, gaining momentum over thousands of miles.
Most are triggered by large earthquakes but they can be caused by landslides, volcanoes and even meteor impacts.
The waves are generated when geologic forces displace sea water in the ocean basin. The bigger the earthquake, the more the Earth's crust shifts and the more seawater begins to move.
Most tsunamis occur in the Pacific because the ocean basin is rimmed by the Ring of Fire, a long chain of the Earth's most seismically active spots. Marine geologists recently have determined that under certain conditions, the U.S. East Coast and other heavily populated coastlines also could be vulnerable.
In a tsunami, waves typically radiate out in directions opposite from the seismic disturbance. In the case of the Sumatra quake, the seismic fault ran north to south beneath the ocean floor, while the tsunami waves shot out west and east.
Tsunamis are distinguished from normal coastal surf by their great length and speed. A single wave in a tsunami series might be 100 miles long and race across the ocean at 600 mph. When it approaches a coastline, the wave slows dramatically, but it also rises to great heights because the enormous volume of water piles up in shallow coastal bays.
And unlike surf, which is generated by wind and the gravitational tug of the moon and other celestial bodies, tsunamis do not break on the coastline every few seconds. Because of their size, it might take an hour for another one to arrive.
Some tsunamis appear as a tide that doesn't stop rising, while others are turbulent and savagely chew up the coast. Without instrumentation, so little is known about this tsunami that researchers must wait for eyewitness accounts to determine its characteristics.
"It was a big tsunami, but it is hard to say exactly how many waves there were or what happened," McCreary said.
In the hours following an earthquake, tsunamis eventually lose their power to friction over the rough ocean bottom or simply as the waves spread out over the ocean's enormous surface.
The international warning system was started in 1965, the year after tsunamis associated with a magnitude 9.2 temblor struck Alaska in 1964. It is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Member states include all the major Pacific rim nations in North America, Asia and South America, was well as the Pacific islands, Australia and New Zealand. It also includes France, which has sovereignty over some Pacific islands, and Russia.
However, India and Sri Lanka are not members. "That's because tsunamis are much less frequent in the Indian Ocean," McCreary said.
The warning system analyzes earthquake information from several seismic networks, including the U.S. Geological Service. The seismic information is fed into computer models that "picture" how and where a tsunami might form. It dispatches warnings about imminent tsunami hazards, including predictions how fast the waves are traveling and their expected arrival times in specific geographic areas.
As the waves rush past tidal stations in the ocean, bulletins updating the tsunami warning are issued. Other models generate "inundation maps" of what areas could be damaged, and what communities might be spared.
Not all earthquakes generate tsunamis. The warning center typically does not issue warnings for earthquakes below magnitude 7.0, which are still unusually powerful events.

Yes... as long as it's 2-3 miles inland.
