DGAR should be OK. The buildings are solid and they have their own earthquake station (see below).

Having said that, please ping me if you hear anything.

New IDA station installed in Diego Garcia

... installed the fortieth station in the IDA network on the island of Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory. The choice of Diego Garcia as a site for a seismic station was an obvious one to make: this atoll in the Chagos Archipelago is the only suitable land for over 1500 miles in any direction in the central Indian Ocean! IDA scientists strive to distribute their sensors in as globally uniform a fashion as possible given the distribution of continents and islands. Although great progress is being made at Scripps and elsewhere to install seismic instruments on the seafloor, the vast majority of seismometers are still installed on land. By placing instruments over a broad region of the globe, scientists can more accurately locate earthquakes and better develop detailed models of the Earth's interior by measuring the changes seismic waves undergo as they travel around the globe.

... The location for the sensors, in a seismic vault constructed on the US Air Force's GEODSS installation, provides a superb platform from which to view earthquake activity in this part of the world. Diego Garcia is located very close to very active seismic regions along the Southwest and Southeast Indian ridges. There are very few islands that can accommodate seismic instruments in the Indian Ocean. Project IDA has sites on four of them: in the Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Cocos (Keeling), and now Diego Garcia. ...

Lack of ANY news, good or bad, out of DG is what has me alarmed.

The 8.1 quake was actually closer to New Zealand than the south pole.

Sadly, it's probably 2 or 3 times that amount..we'll never know...in the 70's I think..a cyclone i the Bay of Bengal drowned 100,000+ in Bangladese...they stopped counting the dead..just put them in mass graves.

I remember that.
