Indonesian Earthquake

Indonesian earthquake measuring 8.7 on the Reichter scale.

See that large red circle between Asia and Australia? That's the earthquake that occurred 11 hours ago. It's about the same size as the one in Aceh, Indonesia on December 26th.

People in Western Australia (way up north) were told to keep away from the beach.

These are indeed interesting times. The words "tsunami alert" and "terrorist alert" have become everyday vocabulary terms.
