Yes but its a hell of a lot better than 200,000 +. like last time

CNN now has an early report on their site.

www.cnn.com...

Again, the latest report from their live TV broadcast on American Morning is that it was a magnatude 9 quake and now a second strong aftershock has just happened.

*edit*

They are now back to claiming it was a M7 quake.

Read above.

The death toll is now at 86 with thousands more displaced due to their loss of home.

news.bbc.co.uk... - BBC article on it.

news.yahoo.com... - Yahoo article on it, Yahoo has it as a M7.7 quake.

www.cnn.com... - Newest CNN article.

Indonesian radio interviewed a witness named Teti who said the giant waves -- as high as trees -- damaged homes and other buildings, and she reported seeing at least three dead bodies.

An entire hotel was also washed away, Teti said, and everyone ran for higher ground.

The reason for some mentioning it as 7.7 can be due of the following source:
EMSC, where it is stated that the quake had a magnitude 7.7 on the Richter Scale.

Parameters

Region SOUTH OF JAWA, INDONESIA
Date time 2006-07-17 at 08:19:23.5 UTC
