Earthquake.... again.

Earthquake.

8.5 on the Richter scale. North Sumatra.

Actually wanted to blog about other things but as I was thinking, I saw news on TV that a quake occurred (was watching CNA).

... TSUNAMI INFORMATION BULLETIN ...
 
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THERE IS NO TSUNAMI WARNING
OR WATCH IN EFFECT.
 
AN EARTHQUAKE HAS OCCURRED WITH THESE PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS
 
 ORIGIN TIME -  1610Z 28 MAR 2005
 COORDINATES -   2.3 NORTH   97.1 EAST 
 LOCATION    -  NORTHERN SUMATERA  INDONESIA
 MAGNITUDE   -  8.5
 
EVALUATION
 
 THIS EARTHQUAKE IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE PACIFIC. NO TSUNAMI THREAT   
 EXISTS TO COASTLINES IN THE PACIFIC.                                
                                                                     
 WARNING... THIS EARTHQUAKE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE A WIDELY   
 DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI IN THE OCEAN OR SEAS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE.       
 AUTHORITIES IN THOSE REGIONS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY    
 AND TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.  THIS ACTION SHOULD INCLUDE EVACUATION   
 OF COASTS WITHIN A THOUSAND KILOMETERS OF THE EPICENTER AND CLOSE   
 MONITORING TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR EVACUATION FURTHER AWAY.       
                                                                     
 THIS CENTER DOES NOT HAVE SEA LEVEL GAUGES OUTSIDE THE PACIFIC      
 SO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT OR MEASURE A TSUNAMI IF ONE WAS       
 GENERATED. AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME THE DANGER HAS PASSED IF NO       
 TSUNAMI WAVES ARE OBSERVED IN THE REGION NEAR THE EPICENTER         
 WITHIN THREE HOURS OF THE EARTHQUAKE.                               
 
THIS WILL BE THE ONLY BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS EVENT UNLESS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

And yes.

Tsunami warnings are given. Guess they got worried and they issued the warnings after all.

Thailand also issued a warning to its costal regions. So has India reacted. Sri Lanka too. All the tsunami affected areas are responing. Good.

If nothing happens within 3 hours, God bless.

If not, lets help out once again in anyway we can.

Spirits dampened by this whole issue now.

Pray for them people. Any religions. Whatever. Pray.
