Just checked the USGS readings and there's been another big magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia, about an hour ago. Tsunami warnings are in effect in the area, although it is not yet known if a tsunami has been generated. Nothing on the major news networks yet. Michelle if you're still in the area, hope you're ok.
Update ~8pm..
Just got home a little while ago. Checked the USGS just now and see there's been yet another big earthquake about 15 minutes ago just a little north of this morning's one (EST).. this one an 8.0 magnitude. The main one from this morning has been reassessed at 8.4 magnitude. Hope everyone's ok.
