Another major aftershock hits Lombock, this time 6.2 USGS estimated the depth of the latest tremor at 7.9 kilometres and said the epicentre was on the north-eastern shoulder of the island at the foot of Mount Rinjani. Grant Darwin NT |

It's going off like a frog in a wet sock from Lambock, PNG and Fiji atm :( If I've read it correctly those quakes in Fiji are at a depth of between 580 kms-622 kms! (Lower Mantel? ) I would be getting a little nervous in NZ being on the same faultline |

Villagers forced to flee after volcano erupts in PNG A volcano on the north coast of Papua New Guinea erupts, sending plumes of ash 15 kilometres into the air and forcing 2,000 villagers to flee from lava flows. And Lombock has a long way to go recovery wise. Almost a month after the Indonesian Island of Lombok was rocked by the first in a devastating series of earthquakes, the tourist haven remains a scene of destruction on a grand scale. Things have certainly been active in this region over the last month or so. Grant Darwin NT |

It's going off like a frog in a wet sock from Lambock, PNG and Fiji atm :( That depth according to the wiki is the transition zone, but damn that's deep no matter where that is at. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Reports of a 5.6 quake near Walpole in WA (Western Australia). 5.3 according to the USGS. Was felt in Perth, 280km away. Also in Albany 120km away, although only weakly. Given it's epicentre, depth, and the low population density of the area there shouldn't be much damage, if any. Grant Darwin NT |

Krakatoa is erupting again, yes it's from that Volcano, the son of the one from 1883, I hope this time people will evacuate, since Friday it's erupted 44 times and its killed 30,000 back then KABC said. Though for all intents and porpoises, this is the one from 1883 reborn, nature is relentless. This is not a current pic, but this will do, beautiful and deadly... If a Volcano could represent Death, this one could be nominated... It's number 7: http://arveltheo.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html News: https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/krakatau/news.html Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

You mean Anak Krakatau It wasn't called that in the News, but whatever. And yes I know what it means, it's like calling Wizard Island in the crater of Mt Mazama, Anak Mazama. Technically at least. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

It's very sad to hear of these quakes but also amazing that Australia being so darn close to the ring of fire that we don't ( Hope never will ) get them "yes we get little ones"...Seems the ring of fire has not settled down since 2003 still adjusting to the changes still happening.. I'm just amazed that NZ is so quiet atm ( Hope it remains so ) |
