Indonesia is Hit Hard by Second Quake

Just off the coast of Sumatra Island, an earthquake hit. It is reported as being the ninth quake striking at about 5.0 magnitude. The earthquake was 6.7 magnitudes. No deaths or injuries have occurred because of the recent earthquakes. According to the article Second quake in 10 hours hits Indonesia, "The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning after determining that a destructive widespread tsunami threat does not exist." The earthquake struck just a little after 1 p.m which was just seven hours after the eighth quake hit. I find this article rather interesting because I think weather is fasinating especially earthquakes because we do not experience them.
