Meteorola Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Koku, the US is already on it. I'm at work now, already getting in touch with the people I need to. Are you OK? What is the damage like in Thailand? For everyone else, it may have happened, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I konw, I hear it on the news. This may sound tackless, but I really am glad England isn't on a plate boundary. I hope not too many people have been injured. This really won't help the area to recover from the tsunami. Good luck to Koku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorola Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Don't be so sure of that... look at what happened just to you south in Lisbon. They say (in the US) that the east (Van, SS and my areas) are well overdue for a major earthquake. I belive (though I don't know) that Western Europe is the same way.

Phil VII Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 yeah, but Lisbon is in Portugal, which is on the Mediterannian plate boundery, UK is slap bang in the centre of a plate, so practicly no quakes, there are a few minor minor ones, about 1 on the Richter scale each year, but nothing to write home about. The mediteranian boundery, which covers italy, greece and the south of spain, has some big volcanos, and hey also have some pretty big earthquakes too. The boundery near LA is also due for another big quake too i think, the San Andreas fault. It is sad, another quake, but it was inevitable, there are always more quakes following such a big one like that, the stress builds up in the boundery creating more. I havn't heard of any mor tsunamis though, although all countris nearby have started evacuation as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoned Smurfs Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 so has anyone heard from Koku??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorola Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Nope, and he is usually ALWAYS on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Maybe he's helping relatives and the like. He did say, after the tsunami, that he was on the other side of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koku Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 thanks for the concern from all of you I am still fine...and on line ... The quakes happened down in Sumatra (Indonesia), near the spot that created Tsunami in December. Hundreds of Indonesians died... For Thailand; Phuket, Songkla, and several southern provinces were a bit shaky... Several high buildings in the south were re-inspected. However, everything is still ok for Thailand. Actually, there have been several after-shocks ever since December, but about 2-4 rictor (non so big ones). The one happened last night was a really big one, 8.7 rictor. Lucky, No Tsunami was created this time. Again. many thanks for you concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amnalos Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Another Asian earthquake coupled with a day without Koku's amazingly huge output of posts and we were all worried. Glad all is OK in Koku Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koku Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Till now, over a thousand died in Indonesia....sight! For Thailand, no casualty. In that night, many hundred tourists and locals in Hatyai, Songkla (southern province) had to get down from high buildings, .......a considerable shaky feeling in several other southern provinces, ..... no injury, no casualty, few buildings cracked, but later inspections assured their structure integrity the next day....

Meteorola Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 By the way Koku, you are the only person in here that lives in an area that I am involved with monitoring. It is actually a result of December's Tsunami, however this has resulted in this webpage being created. It may be of some use to you. Who knows.. Americans, if you go there, yes everything is in degrees C not F and in millimeters, not inches. Tough. Well not that you were going to SE Asia anytime soon or anything.

Koku Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Gee...thanks Meteorola...that's a useful weather forecasting site. By the way, I just don't understand they said forecast on Tsunami ("INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI WEATHER SUPPORT") but no where telling about seismographic activity....!?! Have I overlooked sth? or, is there any site on seismo-activity? My oh my... now you guys know how warm it is right here ... look at the max temp 40c ...Luckily it's windy and we have some rain ...
