Ah, that was exactly the type of chart (outside of a PDF) I was looking for.

Unfortunately the Sunda Trench is likely not done. It appears the area of the 1833 rupture (which produced an approximate 9.0 quake) didn't rupture today; what went today was the 1861 rupture.

If the propagation continues the 1833 zone is next.

However the 1833 area may go 5 minutes or 50 years from now.

Sure, just happened to see the number of my posts. Scary.

This one looks to be in almost the same spot, maybe a little south of the tsunami quake.

It would be interesting to see on a map where this one is, in relation to the December 26 quake. Seems unusual that two major quakes would be so close in both time and location.

No. I have nothing against Stratergist other than he seems a little too taken with himself. I suggest that you learn the nuances of the English language a little better before jumping into a debate.

The face of islam is the islamofacists, and as such, I have no sympathy for those that practice the islamic religion, which teaches and tolerates that behavior.

If we knew how to predict these things with complete accuracy, they wouldn't be called natural disasters, they would be called "scheduled evacuation dates."

LOL!

Agree with your post, but you responded to the wrong person...I never made the statement you referenced. :-)
