Earthquake in Indonesia - 7.9
So just a couple of hours ago, I was sitting my office on the 23rd floor and the whole building started to sway. It was swaying enough to make it difficult to walk and enough to hear the windows creaking in their seams.
It turns out that there was a very large earthquake about 400 km away on the south side of the Island of Sumatra. Early news reports indicate that it was about 7.9 on the Richter Scale and that a number of buildings have collapsed.
A tsunami warning had been issued but has since been called off, as the danger period for a tsunami has passed.
Apparently Indonesia has gone from one earthquake a year to more recently, one a month... make you wonder what's happening in the subduction zone off the coast. Is something bigger coming?
