Earthquakes Rumbling Hard Again
There are few things more unsettling for many folks than the news of an earthquake. Quakes seem to be popping up everywhere and occurring all the time at an unusual rate. Earthquakes occur over areas with geological faults. I make it a practice to stay out of those areas. Anyway, midday today, June 16, Wednesday, local time, the coast of Indonesia, near the northern coast of Papua, got struck by a series of powerful earthquakes. There have been reported deaths.The earthquakes caused a tsunami warning to be issued. The warning was shortly lifted. The United States Geological Survey reported the first quake to have a magnitude 6.2, struck about 1:10pm local time on the small island of Biak.
