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 |

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 |

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 ) |

Current reports are 48 dead, hundreds injured, many still to be accounted for. Most recent update, 384 dead 500+ injured. Apparently that figure is for Palu alone. With other coastal towns & villages in the area, the overall toll isn't looking good, although the location of Palu most likely resulted in a much larger Tsunami there than will have occurred in other areas.

Some scientists say that quakes are due to a slowing of Earth's rotation on its axis. Tullio |

500 mph wave? That is a sure sign of an underwater landslide. Additionally most of the damage was on fill. Liquefaction was a big factor. |
