New Indonesian Quake
News reports say that an 8.2 magnitude quake (Richter scale) has struck the
same fault line as the Dec. 26th, 2004 quake (9.0) that caused the massively
destructive tsunami. Monday's quake epicenter was just off the northern
Sumatra coast and between two smaller islands, and located at 18.6 miles
underground. It occured at around 11 p.m. local time.
Tsunami warnings have been given to all the surrounding regions.

P.S. I know that this isn't strictly dino related. (But plate tectonics are
involved!)
