7.4 Earthquake off IndonesiaThis is not a panic drill. Just curious if anybody who is better with geography than me can tell me how far away this is from our mine. Again, not a panic deal, maybe they could not even feel it in PNG.
A massive earthquake has just struck off the coast of Indonesia, recorded at 7.4 magnitude and 62 km deep, according to the US Geological Survey.
It was registered in the Molucca Sea, about just over 130km northwest of the Indonesian island of Ternate, at 4:18pm local time on Thursday. Indonesian authorities have issued a tsunami alert.
