Dow Jones News Reports at 11:39 "DJ Singapore Official: 7.5 Quake Hits Sumatra - Kyodo"
No other reports yet.
Heck, you only have to go as far as Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon and you can see that.
CNN had a guy on the phone that was in Bangkok claiming he felt it and then he called someone in Phuket and the person in Phuket claimed they did not feel it in Phuket. (the guy on the phone was probably screwing with the dip#### news anchor.)
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India issued a tsunami warning as a precautionary measure on Monday after an earthquake off the coast of Indonesia, but said it had no evidence or reports of any killer waves being generated.
"We have issued a tsunami alert. The government is fully alert but we have no evidence or report that a tsunami will come or is coming," Sanjaya Baru, spokesman for the prime minister's office, told Reuters.
As opposed to inserting the issue into every possible issue, claiming God is punishing us for the Schiavo case?
Pot, kettle and all that...
Yeah, I could see how the Aussies might not trust the Brits too much. ;o)
I know that the 3-day pre- plus 3-day post-full moon is a huge window, and they [the phasers] also claim the new moon window. That is 12 out of 29 or 30 days. If there is a statistical correlation it would be energy release versus timing rather than quantity of shakers that would be interesting.
Fox News just had a guy on the phone that said that no way was it felt in Bangkok---that it isn't that big of a quake.
The guy on Fox has NO clue what he is talking about. It was shaking my condo (14th floor) for about 5 minutes. It was VERY VERY noticeable.
AP says: "Tremors from the quake could be felt in the Thai capital Bangkok for several minutes beginning at about 11:20 p.m. "
Thanks for the info Thumbellina.
Please keep us posted.
What "bets" are off? World seems perfectly normal to me.
Not to mention that a brand new hurricane season is fast approaching.
One problem is that people got used to abnormally LOW numbers of strong hurricanes hitting the US for three decades; thus, the number of hurricanes hitting the US simply returning to normal will cause orgasms among the Apocalpytikooks.
It was serious enough that my GF and I went downstairs and stayed down there on the sidewalk for about 30 minutes before coming back up. Many others in the building did the same.
are you in Bangkok?
Will try, he seemed VERY rushed on the phone, gone to battle mode there so pray for these people.
Yeah, I saw it... I've just grown tired of pointing them out.
Yep!
His FR home page says "Sixth generation Floridian now living in Bangkok, Thailand."
Just go talk to your local Police/Fire/EMS/Hospital people.
Things go bonkers on full moons.
And that's completely irrelevant to earthquakes.
