hey there say... oh my...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/another-earthquake-killed-least-two-022356717.html

and, then... wasn't there one in the 'fiji's -- a few days agao???


Quakes earlier Sunday caused landslides on Rinjani, an active volcano. Video shot by the Indonesian Red Cross showed huge clouds of dust billowing from the mountain’s slopes.

Rinjani has been closed to visitors following a July earthquake that killed 16 people, triggered landslides and stranded hundreds of tourists on the mountain.

Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago that straddles the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.


oh my... hope they are not hit with more serious ones, in a row... :(

hopes and prayers for all the folks there...
:(

The August 19, 2018, 14:56 UTC, M 6.9 earthquake near Belanting, Indonesia, occurred as the result of shallow thrust faulting on or near The Flores Back Arc Thrust. This event occurred 14 days after the August 5, 2018, M6.9 earthquake near Pulau Lombok, Indonesia which killed at least 476 people.
