#1 I have yet to see any reports on significant damage or casualties. Hard to imagine there wasn't much damage - the smaller aftershocks were over magnitude 6, which is still a pretty big earthquake, and would generally cause damage. The disasterous Northridge quake in California in 1964 was a 6.7.

#3 What I thought was interesting however was the islamic silence with regard to how God was punishing Indonesia with earthquakes in much the same way God was punishing the US as evidenced by hurricane Katrina.

Sadly, for every Muslim that might think they are being punished for Islam's atrocities, there are two others who feel the punishment is for not being Islamic enough. There is simply no easy way to overcome such a mulishly obstinant insistence that the solution to everything is more religion.

#4 Re: Glenmore's post: Heard a comment on the radio this morning that there was concern that the (so far) low number of casualties / deaths is probably due to many being trapped under / inside rubble and collapsed buildings. I am also skeptical of the low numbers. On the plus side however, maybe the earlier tremblors have caused a shakeout in the substandard buildings and only the strong have survived....

#6 My worry is that what is curr happening in this part of the Pacific will be experienced soon enuff by my home island of Guam, ala what I label THE KAMALEN/CAMARIN IMPACT + 2012 > THE QUAKE HEARD/FELT 'ROUND THE WORLD. Beatles lyric -"In times of trouble, Mother Mary come to me, leaving words of wisdom, let it be".

USA TODAY > SUN SWELLS NOT TOO BAD FOR EARTH. 5.0Bilyuhn? yarns from now > Humanity and most biotic life wil die, but "the Rock" itself will not. Interesting Q for the Secular-Atheists and Scientifists > Iff the earth is knocked out of its normal orbit and emplaced further out in Solar System than now, and Humanity + Biotic Life [ or protions thereof] did survive, CAN THE LATTER STILL EXIST/SURVIVE WHEN THE SUN DOES BEGIN TO SWELL. IFF GOD, even during the so-called APOCALYPSE and even during a SUPERNOVA/PRE-NOVA PHASE,.........................@etal, gives mankind a chance to survive and reform, WILL MANKIND BE FAITHFUL OR NOT BECUZ GABRIEL'S SWORD WANTS TO KNOW!? GREATEST DIALECTICISM OF ALL > so-called "END-OF-WORLD" GLOBAL CATACLYSM(S) IS ACTUALLY A CHANCE(S) YET FOR LIFE. A "SECULAR" SCIENTIFIC-REALIST EVENT IS ACTUALLY A GIFT(S) FROM GOD, only mankind does NOT realize it nor comprehend it???
