A series of quakes have rocked Banda Aceh city over the past 48 hrs.
5.5 2005/10/03 22:09:24 5.525 94.353 30.0km NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
5.3 2005/10/04 12:23:25 5.516 94.258 40.6km NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
5.7 2005/10/05 08:46:42 5.234 95.481 10.0km NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
The most recent was inland and only about 35km from the city center. It was shallow (only 10km) and there are reports of structural damage to buildings through out the city.
I have just spoken to Lynnette Johnson in BA and she is concerned that her office building and mess has been damaged so extensively that they may have to abandon it. Seismologists have warned that BA lies directly on top of the main inland Sumatran fault and that the risk of a mega quake near or under the city is high.
