Strong undersea quake jolts IndonesiaÂ’s Aceh
2007-03-01
JAKARTA - A strong 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Indonesian province of Aceh on Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, a seismologist said. The undersea quake, which hit at 9:01 am (0201 GMT), was centred 170 kilometers (105.4 miles) under the seabed off the western coast of Aceh, a staff member at IndonesiaÂ’s meteorology agency said.

The quake occurred roughly 65 kilometers southwest of Sinabang, which lies on the island of Simeulue, and was felt in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, the agency said.

Cthulhu?

Dagon?

'Cause I sure as hell don't want it to be the US.

#5  Memo for those who claim the US is the least generous nation on Earth (e.g. Djimmi Carter), just watch how much help disaster victims DON'T get from me and others like me NEXT time.

I suspect this 'little' earthquake is simply 'adjustment' to the big one a couple of years ago. Unless both it and the 'big' one are just foreshocks for a REALLY big one in the future. Now that's a scary thought.

#3  Message from the Holy Ghost: stop worshipping that Allah entity or you get more catastrophes. And cut out that damn be-heading; it's a nuissance to have to put humans back together.
