This earthquake is uncertain. Daly et al. (2019) discovered significant historic relocation of settlements in Northern Sumatra based on archeological data. They conclude that a tsunami significantly affected the coast.
Since there is no further evidence on this earthquake, it is estimated to be much smaller than the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman tsunami.
