A 7.2 quake in Jakarta region. And all around the Pacific Rim there have been a series of 5.0 range quakes. I watch the maps usually every day and it seems to me an increased amount of activity.

Certainly a 7.2 quake is a biggie. Hope we don’t have that here.

I think the Indonesia quake was a 7.5 earthquake which is very large. Also it was a very deep quake.

I hope that the West Coast of the USA never has that large a quake because quakes here tend to be very shallow which can cause more damage.

Another aftershock - tiny 1.6 at 1:49 a.m. PDT
