Magnitude 7.9 earthquake strikes Indonesia

30 September 2009 8 Comments

This just in from the CNN: Magnitude 7.9 earthquake strikes Indonesia.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck Indonesia on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake was recorded about 33 miles from Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra, which is home to more than 800,000 people. Several buildings were damaged, Metro TV reported. People were seen running out of their homes and toward the hills.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia. NOAA could not immediately say whether the quake generated a tsunami, but such advisories are issued when a quake has the potential to cause one.

On Tuesday, a magnitude 8.0 quake -triggered tsunami killed at least 84 in the Samoan islands and Tonga.

From the Bangkok Post: 7.9 quake in Indonesia – tsunami alert

      Hi..kakarating ko lang mula sa west java trip sa isang island facing Indian Ocean at super nabigla ako na may quake nga daw, ang dami ko text na tanggap sa roaming num ko. Sa totoo lang wala akong kamuang muang sa mga kaganapan kaya nagbukas kaagad ako ng internet. Ok lang naman ako pero sa tutuo lang talaga mas nakakatakot ang Tsunami kaysa Lindol. Ang lindol kasi dito palagi ko ng nararamdaman lalo itong place ko na malapit lang sa Krakatao. Kumusta pala ang palasyo mo sa Pasig? Ano na nangyari sa “eksposey” mo? Na post mo na ba? Inaabangan ko…
