CNN just reported a 8.2 major earthquake just happened in Indonesia along the same fault that triggered the previous Tsunami.
Details are sketchy.

That's very nice of you Billy. The indonesian people are muslims, but someone tells me Allah is supposed to be the same deity as worshipped by the christian and jewish peoples.

Hopefully the lates didn't shift as wildly as they did last time and a tsunami can be avoided.

Mar 28, 2005 — LONDON (Reuters) - An 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra Monday close to where a quake triggered a tsunami that left nearly 300,000 people dead or missing, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
A USGS spokeswoman told Reuters the quake struck 125 miles west northwest of Sibolga, Sumatra or 880 miles northwest of the Indonesian capital of Jakarta at 1609 GMT, close to where the 9.0 magnitude quake struck in December.
A spokesman for the U.S. Geological Survey told CNN that the earthquake could cause tsunamis.
"Certainly evacuations should be occurring. I hope they are," spokesman Don Blakeman said, saying of the earthquake that "it could also cause some local tsunami activity."
"Even if we do see tsunami activity it won't be as widespread" as December's quake.
Blakeman said Monday's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said it was an aftershock from December's temblor but is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."
There are no reports of damage yet.

I find it to be a strange coincidence that the first earthquake happened the day after Christmas and this one has happened the day after Easter. *shrugs*

And both quakes happened around the same time of day.

and it was one of the seven days of the week...wow. :/
It is just strange coincidences considering the quakes were only 125 miles apart.
It would be different if it happened across the hemisphere from each other.
