8.4 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Indonesia - Tsunami Warnings Issued

Thank God! Googles news page is so confusing. Hard to tell if they are referring to the tsunami alert from the first earthquake or the second.

Oz, thank once again for the update!

Great site! Am bookmarking it. It's best I've seen for earthquakes and right now it looks like the whole Pacific Ring's quite active. Thanks for sharing!

aljazeera-Fresh quake hits Sumatra

Snippet:
Both earthquakes struck near to the city of Bengkulu on Sumatra's west coast. Rescue officials in Jakarta have told Al Jazeera that with communications difficult and power cut in the quake area, a clear picture of the damage and numbers of casualties has yet to emerge.

Six dead after big quake in Indonesia

Wow! Did you look at those death toll numbers in that Earthquake box on that page?
It's unbelievable isn't it?

I grew up in Indonesia and NEVER in my 20 years there I heard about earthquakes so large at such close intervals.

Something is definitely up, the earth is not well. Yesterday's C2C guest's topic about Planet X/ wormwood is sounding more and more real. Planet X is coming and the earth's tectonic plates begin to shift due to this new gravitational disturbance...

And this was filmed in Singapore, over 700 miles from the quake!

Same map as what we use to, looks like this one is 7.0 on the scale

Actually we are just holding out on putting out the Tsunami warning for the moment. Will advise whether we do or not soon

They've downgraded the last one to 6.5.

Yep, doesnt look like a tsunami warning will be issued for this one

The quake that was downgraded from 7.3 to 6.5 has been upgraded again. It's now at 7.1

I hope all of this quake activity isn't going to awaken the son of Krakatoa, one of the most destructive volcanic areas in world history, I happened to watch a show on the History channel on Krakatoa and at the end they said earthquakes would be the signal of an upcoming eruption.

Here is a bit of info on Anak Krakatoa

Also Indonesia is home to a supervolcano bigger than Yellowstone, its known as Toba.

It troubles me that with all these huge earthquakes they have over there, this thing could wake up. If it does, its game over...forget Krakatoa.

Looks like that reverse chain reaction I speculated about earlier is happening. Freaky
