Earthquakes off coast of South Sumatra - ongoing

Re: Earthquake (8.4) off coast of South Sumatra + a flurry of large aftershocks

Re: Earthquake (8.4) off coast of South Sumatra + a flurry of large aftershocks

PADANG, Indonesia (CNN) -- An international team of earthquake specialists says Indonesia faces another potential "giant" quake in the near future.

Galetzka is now examining the evidence that his team believes indicates the arrival another giant earthquake, and possible tsunami.

He has established a network of position-markers, linked by satellite, that show a constant creep, northeast, among the islands on Indonesia's Indian Ocean frontier. The first one was placed in August 2002.

The 30 measuring stations along Sumatra's western coast tell an ominous tale. Driven by the plate beneath the Indian Ocean, the entire coastline is flexing, as the earth literally bends. The pressures are already enormous, and at some point probably soon, they will become intolerable.

The implications are terrifying.

"Eventually it has got to release in (the form) of giant earthquake," states Galetzka matter-of-factly.

It could be a rare magnitude-9 quake, and with the plates so tightly sprung, it will happen sooner, he believes, rather than later.

Indonesia's Sumatra hit by 6.7 quake, no tsunami
20 Sep 2007 08:45:56 GMT<!-- 20 Sep 2007 08:45:56 GMT ## for search indexer, do not remove--> Source: Reuters

JAKARTA, Sept 20 (Reuters) - An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale jolted West Sumatra on Thursday, striking in the same area as last week's powerful tremor, Indonesia's meteorology agency said. The quake struck at 0831 GMT, at a depth of 76 km, but the agency did not issue a tsunami warning in the notice it sent through a mobile phone message. More than 20 people were killed in last week's quake

Workers prepare a tsunami early warning system buoy on search vessel Baruna Jaya III, off Jakarta's harbour, September 19, 2007. Indonesia will install the third tsunami detection buoy off the coast of earthquake-prone Sumatra, an official said on Wednesday, after a strong quake killed more than 20 people and damaged thousands of homes there last week. The U.S. embassy will hand over the latest buoy, funded by the United States, to Indonesian officials later on Wednesday when it will then be shipped to the western coast of Sumatra for installation, according to an official at the research and technology ministry.

Re: Earthquakes off coast of South Sumatra - ongoing

Wow. Look at that. It's almost an everyday occurrence. No wonder they are talking to the people, about not panicking. It would be hard for me not to - but it is very common there. And I'm sure they are more adjusted to it than I would be.
