Sumatra Earthquake
March 8, 2007
Indonesia is located on the seismically volatile “Pacific Ring of Fire,” which explains the multiple quakes and tsunami experienced in the last few years.
Quoted from Alernet.org:
The 6.3-magnitude quake struck at mid-morning Indonesian time and was followed by a 6-magnitude aftershock. Homes and buildings have been flattened in Solok and Padang, located on the west-central coast of the island. Authorities report at least 70 dead and scores of injuries.
