To make matters worse, Volcano erupts just northwest of where quake-tsunami tragedy hit in Indonesia. The eruption of Mount Soputan in North Sulawesi may also impact on relief and evacuation efforts, with authorities warning planes about volcanic ash in the air.The death toll there has now exceeded 1300. |

The death toll there has now exceeded 1300.Well the death toll has now risen above 2000 and at least 5000 are missing according to latest TV reports. :-( Apparently the affected districts have a combined population of about 1.4 million, the population of Palu alone was at least 335,000 (2010 census). There are estimates that in excess of 500,000 people are without reliable food, water or shelter. Grant Darwin NT |

After an earthquake on Friday, a car is trapped in a crumbled section of an off-ramp from Minnesota Drive, a major road in Anchorage, Alaska. Holy cow! ![]() |

It's bigger when it's in a populated area. The hills may be alive with the sound of shaking, but the edelweiss will continue to grow without intervention. Roads need to be rebuilt or food and fuel will not get in. |

The tsunami waves struck at night without any warning, destroying hundreds of buildings. The tsunami in Indonesia kills at least 168 without warning Officials say the tsunami could have been caused by undersea landslides after Anak Krakatau volcano erupted. ![]() |

Some villages by their location were spared cause of the shape of the coastline and the local sea bottom I heard on the tv news earlier, the villages that were wrecked ought to be moved to safer areas. 400'? I think you got the range of moment. About 20,000 years ago it was 200 feet lower than today. It then rose to about 200 feet above what it is today. Total change was 400 feet. If all the ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 230 feet. It's never been 400 feet higher than where it is today. Almost all of the water on Earth is stored in two places: in the oceans (currently 97 percent of all water) and in glaciers (currently about 2.7 percent). We would need a lot more water to raise it 400 feet. ![]() |
