That area of the world does seem to be taking a battering at the moment.

Not as bad as the last one I hope.....
Terrible to have another in such a short time
Not sure if it got as far as Sri Lanka - I know people over there.

Hope everyone's ok.

Tsunami warnings have been issued, so it could be nasty, will just have to wait and see.

If I lived on a fault line / near the coast of a fault line I'd be outta there!!

Yes because its that easy.

Hopefully nothing like last time. Have just emailed the resort in the maldives where I am going in two weeks to see if everyone is ok. They were hit on boxing day but got back to full speed in a month. Unfortunately not everyone was as lucky.

Seems that there isn't a Tsunami on approach, which is good.

That fault line has seen a lot of high activity recently.

It's terrible it's happened, but it's starting to help Geologists to build a picture of earthquake prediction - was only reading a couple of weeks back that it was likely to happen - one time when the scientists aren't thrilled about being right.
