Yes, the third. First was outside Australia. Terrifying power these sunamis have.

No. 3

No. 2 was that 8.9 "aftershock" to No. 1 SSE of Australia.

So, don't they say that when there's a big earthquake there's usually one on the opposite side of the globe? Because the closest big fault opposite this one seems to be the New Madrid..

I suppose it will take a while for them to agree on the numbers, but several articles have said that that 8.5 earthquake in your table was later estimated to be 8.9.

I don't know .. that's why I'm asking. I've just heard that several times before (in fact, I saw it mentioned last night) and I'm wondering if there's anything to it. The general idea, as I recall, is that the shockwaves vibrate around the globe and meet again on the opposite end.

Was there one near the South Pole lately?

I'm 99.999% CONVINCED this supposed Bangladeshi quake is completely bogus, non-existent.

The Bangladeshis themselves admitted they don't have an actual working seismic network.

This is either the original 8.9 earthquake mislocated with a bad magnitude, or one of the aftershocks to the 8.9 in the Andamans mislocated with a bad magnitude.

Local agencies in the Third World have a record of really badly botching earthquake info. Unfortunately this one has made it out on the wires and on to cable news crawlers and taken on a life of its own.

I take this as a true sign of the last days (for the Islamic world).

The 8.9 quake yesterday was 5,200 miles away from the 8.1 quake in the MacQuarie Ridge south of Australia. It was not an "aftershock" of that earthquake.

You can't "botch" a large earthquake, the whole world feels the vibrations. The US network picks up quakes 6+ in intensity.

Considering the tsunami may have killed upwards of 1,000 people in a church in India, and thousands of the dead are Buddhists and Hindus, I suspect you're wrong.

I take this as a sign that the Indo-Australian tectonic plate is still heading northwards at a high rate of speed into Asia as it has for the last several million years.

Oh yes you can. The Indonesians themselves claimed the 8.9 megaquake was initially of M 6.8.

This quake doesn't appear anywhere on the NEIC or Swiss Red Puma lists. It never happened.

The US agencies say these quakes are initially a wrong number.

Intensity is determined by examining the seismograph readouts. You do not instantly "know" an intensity.

You are very, very wrong.
