JAKARTA, Indonesia - A massive earthquake shook Indonesia on Wednesday, killing seven people, injuring 100 and triggering a small tsunami that hit one city on the island of Sumatra, authorities said. Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Indian Ocean region. The 8.2-magnitude quake off Sumatra badly damaged buildings along the coast and could be felt in at least four countries, with tall buildings swaying as far as 1,200 miles away. It was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks, the strongest of which registered at a magnitude of 6.6 and triggered a second tsunami alert for Indonesia, which...

(LIP-ir)  --  The Señor de Luren (Lord of Luren) Church in Ica, Peru was one of the many building which was affected by the 7 degree earthquake that hit Peru last night. The earthquake struck as a religious service was in progress last night. Townspeople in Ica are stating the fact that the Lord of Luren, a statue of Jesus Christ crucified, was not damaged as nothing less than a miracle. It was reported that despite the collapse of a pillar and the destruction of one of the altars, the statue of the Lord of Luren was not damaged. Townspeople...

At least seven people were found alive as rescuers pulled dozens of dead victims from the ruins of a church that collapsed on worshippers during the Peruvian earthquake, relief workers said yesterday. Witnesses said that the spire bells clanged wildly before the picturesque 18th-century Church of San Clemente in Pisco caved in on Wednesday. The collapse came as more than 200 people celebrated the Feast of the Assumption marking the Virgin Mary’s ascent to Heaven. So far, at least 60 bodies have been recovered from the rubble of the church, which was believed to be the single deadliest spot in...

PISCO, Peru - The death toll rose to 450 on Thursday in the magnitude-8 earthquake that devastated cities of adobe and brick in Peru's southern desert. Survivors wearing blankets walked like ghosts through the ruins. Dust-covered dead were pulled out and laid in rows in the streets, or beneath bloodstained sheets at damaged hospitals and morgues. Doctors struggled to help more than 1,500 injured, including hundreds who waited on cots in the open air, fearing more aftershocks would send the structures crashing down. Destruction was centered in Peru's southern desert, at the oasis city of Ica and the nearby port...

Major Quake Likely in Middle East, Survey Finds Kate Ravilious for National Geographic News July 26, 2007 In A.D. 551, a massive earthquake devastated the coast of Phoenicia, now Lebanon. The disaster is well-documented, but scientists had struggled over the years to locate the earthquake fault. Now a new underwater survey has uncovered the fault and shown that it moves approximately every 1,500 years—which means a disaster is due any day now. "It is just a matter of time before a destructive tsunami hits this region again," said Iain Stewart, an earthquake expert at the University of Plymouth in the...

Strong earthquakes hits Japan 2007/4 3 minutes ago TOKYO - A strong earthquake struck near islands in southwestern Japan Friday, prompting authorities to warn that the area could be hit by a small tsunami. The Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory after the second and larger quake, saying that islands in the area could be hit by waves as high 18 inches. People living on the island were being warned to stay away from the coast. Miyakojima is about 1,130 miles southwest of Tokyo. Japan is one of the world‘s most earthquake-prone countries.

Source: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Date: March 23, 2007 The Next Great Earthquake Science Daily ? The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and resulting tsunami are now infamous for the damage they caused, but at the time many scientists believed this area was unlikely to create a quake of such magnitude. In the March 23 issue of the journal Science, a geophysicist from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute urges the public and policy makers to consider all subduction-type tectonic boundaries to be "locked, loaded, and dangerous."

Published: March 12, 2007 at 8:39 AM Scientists study May's Tonga earthquake ST. LOUIS, March 12 (UPI) -- A U.S.-led team of seismologists says it has determined why last May's major earthquake in Tonga did not cause a large tsunami. Professor Douglas Wiens at Washington University in St. Louis and colleagues in Australia, Japan and Tonga said although a Pacific Rim tsunami warning was issued following the May 3, 2006, magnitude 8.0 quake, the resulting tsunami was very minor and caused no damage. Tsunamis generally result from shallow-thrust earthquakes, which occur when the seafloor is pushed downward beneath the land...

The quake snapped seven of 8 major cables in the Luzon strait between Taiwan and the Philippines. The damaged cables meant no Internet access for millions, and some people are still offline today. Many American businesses found it difficult to impossible to communicate with Asian partners. Repair crews remain busy lifting the cables off the ocean floor and fixing them.

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's Meteorological Agency issues tsunami warning for country's east coast after magnitude 8.3 earthquake in northern Japan.

TOKYO -- Thousands of residents fled to higher ground after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake struck off Japan's northern coast in the Pacific on Saturday, setting off tsunami warnings. A tsunami warning also was issued for Alaska's western Aleutian islands, prompting some residents to evacuate, and a tsunami watch was issued for Hawaii. Both were later canceled. Japan's Meteorological Agency had said that waves as high as 3.3 feet could hit the northeastern coast of Japan's main island of Hokkaido.
