2nd Asian Earthquake

8.2 Magnitude Aftershock Rocks Northern Sumatra
By Mike O'Sullivan

28 March 2005

Seismologists say an 8.2 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, late Monday was the largest of thousands of aftershocks to the devastating quake that struck in late December.

It was smaller than the 9.0 magnitude quake that was followed by a destructive tsunami three months ago. But seismologist Jill McCarthy of the U.S. Geological Survey says the quake that struck late Monday can also be classified as a "great earthquake."

"It occurred near the coast of northern Sumatra, about 205 kilometers west-northwest of a town called Sibolga," she said.

She says most aftershocks are much smaller than the initial temblor, but an aftershock of this size is not uncommon after a larger quake. Her agency monitors earthquakes, but she says it is not equipped to monitor ocean levels.

"However, an earthquake of this size and in this location could possibly generate a tsunami," she said.

The seismologist says aftershocks tend to diminish in number after a big earthquake, but the size of the aftershocks and their effect on the local oceans is unpredictable.

It was around 5pm (BST)...

Aftershocks like this will be going on for a while. They won't be nearly as bad as the first, though. According to geologists, if there are tsunamis in the next couple, most will probably be hitting Northern Australia, which minimal damage.... but then again, who really knows.

If that earthquake had been in deeper water, then Sumatra would have been drowned again...

That is horrible, but what do you expect when they live near the most active tectonic plates. They move on a daily bases, usually to small to notice, but then they get the big ones.

There is really nothing that can be done to stop it, they need to have measures set up so when it doesn happen people can be transfered away asap and such.

We're all going to die Dec 21, 2012. 7 years of H.o.e. before we all die. Gradually gets worse.

Jesus fuckin' Christ, D3V...You really buying into all that bogus bullshit? What the hell is wrong with you? You think that the prediction is correct when in fact there is the greatest chance that it was fucking forged. Understand? FORGED! I know you're smarter than you appear...2012? Yeah, right, and I'm the goddamn queen of the whole fucking universe. Honestly, I've heard so many fucking E.o.W. predictions that it's just getting to be annoying. You can't prove it as neither can the Christians, the Aztecs, Jews, or Muslims. You all just don't fucking get that it can't be proven. More than likely the world disappears when the sun engulfs the inner planets. Then there's death. Then there's H.o.E. Then all the end times fanatics can just shut the fuck up and die.

According to the Mayans and the Aztecs, the world has been destroyed 4 times before by the sun. The fifth time will happen on...22nd December 2012. He he he...don't s ream at me Kagom, I'm only quoting a book...

We will all die in "disastrous earthquakes. If the cracks in the Earth don't swallow you up then the terrible shaking that your brain cells get will give you a fatal headache!"

OMG! IT'S ALREADY STARTED! THE 7 YEARS OF H.O.E THAT D3V TALKED ABOUT HAVE STARTED!!!!!!!
