I only just recently read about antipodal earthquakes.
Checked out of curiosity and sure enough, Indonesia is the antipode of Colombia, which just had their massive quake a few days ago.
Just FYI: the country’s name is Colombia, not Columbia.
Sorry not sure if that was force of habit or autocorrect (I live on the Columbia River)
Don’t sorry about it mate :)
Authorities issued a tsunami warning but later lifted it when Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said monitoring showed no significant sea-level changes that would pose a threat to coastal communities.
Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency issued a tsunami warning for part of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi provinces, and urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks. The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores island. Residents along affected coastlines were advised to move to higher ground as officials were closely monitoring coastal tide gauges for any changes.
Looks like the earth has had just about enough of our bullshit. On a more serious note, I hope everyone’s okay.
