Indonesia

Apparently another tsunami may be hitting...
8.2 earthquake hit off the southwest coast of Indonesia - experts fear "[t]here is a potential for some wave activity," said Julie Martinez, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center, in Golden, Colorado.



Update 3:35 PM

Fifty people died on the island of Nias, near the epicenter of a massive earthquake off the coast of Indonesia, a government official there told CNN. The U.S. Geological Survey has raised the magnitude of Monday's earthquake that shook Southeast Asia today to 8.7.


8.7 is an incredibly strong earthquake. Luckily it looks like the threat of another tsunami has passed.

Update 8:45 PM
1,000-2,000 people dead in the same country devastated by the tsunami 3 months ago. No tsunami coming, but shit man...you gotta wonder.
