First time [I heard] about an earthquake centered in peninsular Malaysia. Seismologist need to do something here. The earthquake centered at 65Km northeast Bentong, Pahang , at a 3.0 scalar Richter [brunei.fm], caused no damaged.
On April 7, 2009, there was a moderate earthquake occurred [magnitude 5.5 on Richter scale] in Banda sea, Indonesia at 9.30 pm. The earthquake epicenter is located at 6.5south latitude and 129.6 east longitude, 1755km from southeast of Tawau, Sabah [jkc.gov.my]

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have seen your comment on my blog 9radar meteorology) and I can tell you we had an Earth Quake of 5.3 on Richeter last night in Romania, no damage, but a lot of worry. A lesson: many people started to call family and friends and phone lines were blocked for 2 hours, emergency and authorities having difficulties in communication.
Good luck with your master!
In 1977 we had a 7.5 earthquake that killed 1500 people, and it was a huge trauma that never has been healed. They say we should expect a new intense one in 2009-20012, and we all are very worried as ther eare at least 350 buildings in the capital that will collapse.
ReplyDeletewow..we should worry bout that. anyway, thanks for the info. i will definitely look out for the details.
