Latest update - did you feel the shake again? I thought somebody was playing with me by shaking my chair. Apparently, i’m not the only one who felt it. Looking from the location of the quake, tsunami may not happen to us, but pity the Sumatera people.

Magnitude: 7.5
Date-Time: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 08:08:31 UTC (Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 03:08:31 PM at epicenter)
Location: 2.751°N, 95.966°E
Depth: 34.3 km (21.3 miles)
Region: SIMEULUE, INDONESIA
Distances:
* 312 km (194 miles) WSW (253°) from Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia
* 314 km (195 miles) SSE (167°) from Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia
* 336 km (209 miles) WNW (290°) from Sibolga, Sumatra, Indonesia
* 638 km (396 miles) W (266°) from KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
Eventually, the news update on tsunami alert was lifted. So that may lessen headaches for people in some place and they don’t have to take antioxidant to ease their misery. Great stuffs.
