It was a really interesting morning. You may have heard about the earthquake in Indonesia. It happened about 6:00 PM local time and was 8.2 on the Richter Scale. The aftershocks were running about 6.6 and a tsunami warning was issued for the entire Indian Ocean basin. We're protected from the tsunami threat because we are sheltered by Sumatra and the quake was on the south side of that island.
As we sat in our office at 7:45 this morning everyone got the feeling that their office chairs were moving. It turned out we were feeling an aftershock. The veterans tell us that these sometimes occur and last a few seconds at most. This morning's tremor lasted well over a minute and the entire building was swaying. Not a great deal of movement but we did feel a continual pulsing effect. Nobody got too excited so we tried to stay calm as well. In the end it stopped and nothing more happened.
So all of you calm down ! We're fine!
