ChefJeff Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Hi all, In the news I've been reading of significant earthquake activity in Indonesia. Just hoping all is well with Dennis and his family. If anyone within Komodo knows whether or not Dennis was affected by the quakes, hopefully they will respond to this post. Take care, Jeff Quote
ChefJeff Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Posted September 14, 2007 Ooops. I can see from another post that my subject has been answered already. Just glad that Dennis et al are fine. Quote
trish Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Hi ChefJeff.....have you selected a KK yet? Dennis indicated after the first quake they were ok. Don't know about the others... Lets hope there wasn't a ship in the way of the tsunami.. Quote
Sanny Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Hi ChefJeff.....have you selected a KK yet? Dennis indicated after the first quake they were ok. Don't know about the others... Lets hope there wasn't a ship in the way of the tsunami.. The shakes all seemed to be located on Sumatra, well to the west, or on other islands. Not on Java, where Dennis (usually) is. Quote
jdbower Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 In Asia they were also smart enough to locate their fault lines in the middle of the ocean instead of underneath major cities (including a city with a rather ill-conceived subway system...). In Taiwan I experienced my first Earthquake and it was an interesting experience; the SoCal girl I was with was terrified because it lasted about a minute, but there was no damage because the entire island shakes as one. One of the buildings has a huge sphere it uses is a rolling support column to help absorb the motion - kind of cool. Quote
trish Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 What about the Tsunami that frequently comes after the earthquake. Quote
