Earthquake

#1 Postby Cookiely » Mon May 30, 2005 10:19 pm

Has anyone seen a report of an earthquake in Indonesia in the vicinity of Aceh? There was a breaking news bulletin but I couldn't get a link to the story.

Yeah... but that's normal. The whole area from Southeast Asia through Japan to Alaska and then down the West Coast has frequent earthquakes. Most of them aren't significant(5.4 is not in that part of the world), but because everyone's on a nerve's edge and the media has 24/7 monitoring now over there, every quake gets mentioned.

Looks like it was a 5.6.

When we lived in the Philippines, earthquakes were a fairly regular occurrence but still scary.
