not sure if the fact that it happened at 11:00 PM is good or bad....good in the fact the shores should be a vacant, bad because it IS at night...

The sad thing is, that area STILL doesn't have tsunami detection equipment installed in the ocean that would, at the very least, give residents there some type of official tsunami warning. Experts says that's the only area still without the equipment. I thought our government was going to help pay to have some installed...

I work for a TV net... I can remember doing a story shortly after the tsunami where federal officials were applauding themsevles for taking "immediate" action to install such warning devices. Their goal set for installation was the end of January.

This is all because of gay marriage and the Terri Schiavo case.

just read on MSNBC.Com that it did not appear to have set off tsnunami's...let's hope that is true!

It was a much deeper quake so there was further for the energy to travel from underground which makes it far less likely to spawn tsunamis.

whew, thank God.......

"Oh God, thats really scary.

That's a pretty weird thing to say...it's not like this is the FIRST EARTHQUAKE in the History of Mankind.

I'm so glad that it didn't trigger another diaster! Whew. Those poor people have been through enough. Was any of the quake felt above ground?

my sentiments exactly....and I'd like to think if there is a God, he/she is a loving, kind God.........and not one set on vengence as so many make him/her out to be

CNN reports that 50 people died near the epicenter of the quake on the island of Nias.

I was just on the EQ website, and I'm moving to Cali. I noticed that so many EQ's happened (even though they were at 2.5 and such) around the area where I'm moving to last week. Is this common?

[paradox_error]

This is terrible...

This is the last thing these people need.

I pray that there is not a tsunami...

"I was just on the EQ website, and I'm moving to Cali. I noticed that so many EQ's happened (even though they were at 2.5 and such) around the area where I'm moving to last week. Is this common?"

Yes it is. It's much better to be having little 2.5 earthquakes than having no earthquakes and having all that energy getting pent up for a long period of time resulting in a major earthquake.

I beseech everyone on this board to pray to whatever God they worship. Pray for the people, and pray that another tsunami doesn't happen...
