Wow.
Again? Wars, rumors of wars and earthquakes.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
These could be building up to something really big.
5.2 according to the USGS site.
That is in the ring of fire. We need to be pray for California. Seems like when there is that much activity, it travels around the ring.
The Pacific rim is getting active.

Is Al Gore blaming global warming yet?
The ‘Ring of Fire’ sure has been very active the past, few months. Prayers to the people in harm’s way.
Of course this is all caused by Climate Change.

Second earthquake hits stricken Sumatra
*****************************EXCERPT**************************
• Second earthquake has shaken western Indonesia as hundreds remain trapped
• Quake struck about 180 miles from epicentre of first tremors
A second powerful earthquake has hit the Indonesian island of Sumatra, a day after the first devastating quake which has left hundreds and possibly thousands of people buried in rubble and a major city cut off from the outside world.
The new quake, of 6.9 magnitude, struck in the early hours, about 180 miles from the epicentre of the more powerful tremor out at sea yesterday - becoming the second large quake to hit the area within 24 hours.
The number of confirmed deaths from the first quake was between 100 and 200, according to disaster relief officials but they warned that the figure was likely to rise, with the head of the country's crisis centre saying at least 1,000 may have been killed.
There were no immediate injuries known from the second quake.
Indonesia's government dispatched teams of rescue workers to the stricken region. International aid agencies were preparing to launch a major relief effort as tens of thousands of people spent a night in the open in pouring rain after their homes were damaged.
USGS now has this second quake at 6.6 .
