Rat: Hurricane hits the coast, oil prices goes up, earthquake hits Sumatra, it is not a welcomes news either. Don't forget Krakatoa and the son of Krakatoa. If they erupt, all those oil rigs in Southeast Asia might be affected. That's how oil can get to $ 100/barrel! Powerful quake hits Indonesia’s Sumatra 7/5/2005 5:35:00 AM GMT Middle East Advertising by alClick Advertise Here Earthquake recorded on a seismograph A massive earthquake rocked the northwest coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra island, strongly shaking all buildings in the area. The U.S. Geological Survey issued a preliminary report saying that Tuesday quake measured at 6.8, and was centered 386 kilometers (240 miles) south-southeast of Banda Aceh. Several people from Medan, a large city on Sumatra, called El-Shinta radio station, saying that the quake shook tall buildings and that some residents ran from their homes. The stricken area is the same Indonesian region that was devastated last year by the massive tsunami' triggered by a powerful earthquake on December 26. Last year’s tsunami killed more than 226,000 people, and displaced more than 1.7 million. Also 500,000 lost their homes as a result of the tsunami that was generated across the Indian Ocean. According to Budi Waluyu, from the government's geophysical and meteorological agency, Tuesday quake was "strongly felt" across west Sumatra and outlying islands. There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries. Although earthquakes at a magnitude of 6.8 are classified as strong, and powerful enough to cause damage, especially in populated areas, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said that there’s a very small possibility that today's quake would cause major destruction. aljazeera.com
