A very strong 6.2R has just been reported in the region of Sumbawa, INDONESIA!
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 struck off the island of Sumbawa in the Indonesian archipelago, 71 km (44 miles) south of Raba city, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The quake, initially measured as a magnitude 6.4, was quite deep, at 72 km (44.9 miles) below the seabed, the USGS said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) did not immediately issue a tsunami warning and was unlikely to cause one.
More details awaited.
This was expected as can be seen from our post yesterday where we also posted the coordinates.
We predicted the co-ordinates (8.5S, 113.5E) not too bad!!
