A magnitude-8.7 earthquake struck off the northwestern coast of Indonesia,
raising initial concerns that a tsunami might hit the area where waves from
a Dec. 26 temblor caused widespread death and destruction.
It's apparently being viewed as an aftershock to December's earthquake in the same region. As of now, it looks like the tsunami danger has passed. But, good grief - those poor people haven't even begun to recover from the emotional shock of the LAST disaster.

The tragedy is incredible- and heartbreaking. I wonder if instant awareness and instant visibility actually desensitizes us, as in information overload.
That scares me.
