including thailand, sri lanka and the indian ocean. banda aceh province is the closest to the epicenter. there people say the earth shook for one to four minutes. residents feared for their lives, the crowd in a panic, the concern over more aftershocks and a tsunami that sent many running for cover in search of higher ground. so far, no reports of serious injuries or damage. power was knocked out by the tremor. the earthquake brings back memories of the 2004 earthquake and tsunami that hit the same area, 230,000 people were killed then. today, indonesia's president sent rescue teams to the hardest-hit areas but so far no casualties have been reported. indonesia is vulnerable to seismic activities, a tsunami warning issued after the two earthquakes has now been lifted. barbara? >> richard, thank you very much for that report. >>> a search is on this morning for a man who attacked two women who thought they were apartment hunting. it happened at an abandoned office building in alexandria. news4's tracee wilkins has more on the investigat

warnings in parts of india and sri lanka. we're joined from beijing. >> reporter: we learned 20 minutes from the meteorological agency, confirmation that a tsunami will hit indonesia. the island of sumatra. this contradicts reports that this is not the type of earthquake that would lead to a tsunami because low tides have not yet been reported in sumatra island. a low tide is usually the indicator that a major tsunami wave is on the way. but people in banda aceh province are not wasting any time. they've learned their lessons from 2004's asian tsunami, in which 220,000 people were killed in indonesia. on many people in banda aceh are fleeing to higher ground. we heard reports of traffic jams in the area, people who can't get into cars are simply fleeing on foot, trying to go anywhere they can to escape a potential tsunami wave. >> celia, what do we know about the casualties on the ground? >> well, at the moment it's very difficult for the indonesian government to get any clear information on damage or casualties because banda
