8.7 quake hits off Banda Aceh, Sumatra

There's some good news from geologists. It was a horizontal slip-strike of two plates instead of the vertical upthrusting that created the last massive tsunami. They say it's less likely to create a big tsunami.

I get really upset when things like this happen, even though they're far away. The thought of what people might be going through. I probably won't be able to go to sleep until a report comes through.
