Quake Watch 2008

USGS upgraded to 7.3 and there's a tsunami warning

Makes me remember John Galetzka´s warnings about a major quake to happen in Indonesia.

Indonesia's big one 'on its way'

These days´ quakes, indeed, are very unusual... Activity increases and I doubt that they are all aftershocks.

Well here we go again

Another Quake has just hit Sumatra, 6.9

Im getting really worried for the people there,
I hope they heed these warnings, and prepare as much as they can.

A Tsunami Warning has now been issued,

Not a good day for them, The first one caused quite alot of panic, im sure this one really is going to make people think about getting out of there,

That article is very scary and concerning. I hope the govt there is keeping the people up to date and informed. My thoughts will be with the people and their families, and I pray that the article is incorrect...

I would get something off BGS, but their earthquakes section won't connect, any luck for you?

www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk...

EMSC and USGS both have it as a magnitude 4.7, but differ largely on depth.

same here, wont connect either, reminds me of the dudley one we had a while back, then we had loads of mini quakes in manchester, reckon any after shocks from this ?

We've just felt this tremor in Liverpool. Scary experience to wake up with the bed shaking and the wardrobe rattling.

yup got me outta bed aswell, wide awake now cheers mr earthquake lol

skynews also reporting aswell

I'm surprised that no ATS'ers noticed the magnitude 6.1 which hit not so far from the Doomsday Vault less than a week ago...


USGS: Magnitude 6.1 - SVALBARD REGION
2008 February 21 02:46:18 UTC

Er, Hellmutt, I don't think many ATS'ers live near Svalbard, so I doubt anyone would have noticed it!

However, we certainly did notice the 4.7 here in the UK!!!

Nice post just felt a Quake my self also, if you need the time and date it was at

1:00 AM on the 27-08 UK time England.

Just incase it helps, will update you if houses start falling.

What I find very strange about this is that there were no recorded aftershocks from that quake. At least nothing over 2.5 anyway. You would think that a 6.1 quake would register at least ONE aftershock. Something just doesn't seem right with this one.

Just to update our UK quake,

its now been upgraded to a 5.3,

The British Geological Survey have registered the tremor, timed at 12:56am, at 5.4 on the Richter scale.
