    Magnitude 6.8 quake hits East Africa

    NAIROBI, Dec 5 (Reuters) - A strong earthquake hit East Africa on Monday in the Lake Tanganyika region, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said on its web site.

    The USGS said the 6.8 magnitude quake struck at 1219 GMT in a region it named as Congo-Tanzania and placed it 55 km southeast of the town of Kalemie in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    Hundreds of people evacuated office buildings in the centre of Nairobi after the earth shook and waited for any information about what was going on.

    The quake was also felt in the Rwandan capital Kigali, which lies directly north on a USGS map

    this happened on land... land based quakes don't make tsunamis.

    edit: unless a very large section of earth falls into the ocean at a very fast rate, then it would create one.
