Yesterday, a pair of large earthquakes occurred off the coast of Southern Sumatra, Indonesia. They were of mag. 6.8 and mag. 6.9(the 6.8 being the foreshock). There were no reports of a tsunami and no immediate reports of casualties or major damage. The magnitude 6.8 occurred 80 miles off the coast of Sumatra at 5:23 A.M. local time. The magnitude 6.9 occurred in the same location only 6 minutes later. Frightened residents fled from their homes and into the streets in the city of Bengkulu, closest to the epicenter. After those events there has not been much else going on in the world. That may or may not be it for now. There is more activity rising here in Southern California again so far. There has also been more activity heating up in other parts of the state. I usually share the link to my Twitter account to provide updates for if and when more changes.
