Big Kerry Sieh fan here!

He has a new abstract up of a new paper which says the extreme south end of the December rupture was the Northwest tip of Simelue Island..

This quake epicenter was southeast of Simelue Island, between it an Nias. Can't really be an aftershock then.

Looks like a possible repeat of the 1861 roughly 8.5 rupture...in which case if the media is checking Banda Aceh to see if there's a tsunami are making a big mistake...it would affect central Sumatra if there was one.

Local Thai news is reporting mass evacuations along the western coast of Thailand (Phuket, etc..). If something hits, they are expecting it within the next 2 hours.

This doesn't look good.




Yes, this doesn't look good. You have earthquakes, the State sponsored Murder of Terri during Holy Week, which IMHO is satanic in nature & now more earthquakes. You also have several countries who have or about have nukes threatening us. Just another thought, God has used countries in the past to chastise others. Perhaps, the murder of Terri may be the last straw with God. Something to grasp.

The Thai are ready, the big thing is to clear the roads and shore of cars and boats, they became projectiles during the tsunami and caused lots of damage.

Worldwide quake activity has been below normal this year (even including this quake.)

I am in BKK and it was very noticable (14th floor condo). Local news is reporting the quake was also very noticable in Phuket. The guy on CNN is full of it.

anyone else notice that the first one was the day after x-mas and this one is the day after easter...

With, all that is going on domestically and internationally, you do get that sinking feeling that somewhere the pressure is building and the release valve is stuck.

because at this time [the apogee] the Earth undergoes special strains to hold on to the Moon and restrain it from breaking free into space

LOL this is the funniest thing I have heard since the first time I read about the hollow earth "theory". I'm sorry but there are never any "special" strains that the earth undergoes to hold the moon in orbit. Earthquakes have MUCH more to do with the dynamic, and as far as we know unique to earth system of plate tectonics. Face it, we live on earth that is floating on a sea of magma, and it is not one solid sheet, it's several that rub up against each other, and even push themselves over one another. Every once in a while there are slips and bad things happen.
