Yes, Nias got pounded again. If they already had buildings cracked by the first quake, this 6.0 quake could bring them down.
I bet a lot of the casualties had been sleeping when the first quake hit... God help them.
Apparently MSNBC is no longer calling this an aftershock; I was correct in my suspicions.
The aftershocks to THIS quake have all been south of the Epicenter...indicates the area ruptured was to the South; it's a new rupture.
A stunning confirmation of the prediction in the Nature magazine article from a couple weeks ago; this was a triggered stress quake.
Unfortunately, the Sunda trench may not be done. This didn't rupture the area of the 1833 megaquake (even further South)....could happen tomorrow, or 20 years from now, though.
