News: Allah slaughters 1500 faithful in Indonesia. Prayers not effective once again. |
Death toll rises to 1,424 in Indonesia's earthquake
http://english.people.com.cn/200605/27/eng20060527_269102.html
"The death toll has reached 1,424 in Saturday morning's powerful
earthquake in Yogyakarta province and parts of Central Java,
Indonesia, local police said.
"According to data registered by Yogyakarta police, there were 1,240
people killed in Bantul, south of Yogyakarta and one of the most
serious area. Besides, there were 101 people killed in Poltabes area,
55 people killed in Polres Sleman, and 21 people in Polres
Gunungkidul," a police spokesman Bambang Sampurna Jati was quoted by
Antara news agency as saying.
Sampurna said, at the movement the police is imposing Yogyakarta as
warning status I and calling on the society to help each other to
overcome the disaster.
Yogyakarta, Indonesia's ancient royal capital and one of its biggest
cities, is about 440 km south-east of the capital, Jakarta.
The death toll rose steadily as hospitals around Yogyakarta reported a
growing number of fatalities.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has instructed Health
Minister Siti Fadillah Supari and Social Affairs Minister Bakhtiar
Chamsyah to go to Yogyakarta immediately to deliver relief aid and
coordinate help for victims of earthquake which hit the city and its
environs on Saturday morning.
"The President is deeply concerned and asked Yogyakarta Governor
Hamengkubuwono X to continuously report on quake's victims and damages
to the Head of State," a presidential spokesman Andi Malarangeng told
the press at the presidential office on Saturday.
Andi said that the President also ordered Indonesian Military ( TNI)
chief Air Marshal Djoko Suyanto to send soldiers to the quake- hit
cities to help evacuate victims.
President Yudhoyono asked residents of Yogyakarta to remain calm amid
rumors on tsunami following the quake measuring 5.9 on the Richter
scale.
The quake's epicenter was located at 8.826 degrees south latitude and
110.23 degrees east longitude, at the depth of 33 kilometers below the
sea level, about 37.6 kilometers of south of Yogyakarta.
Telecommunication network and electricity supply in Yogyakarta were
cut off due to the earthquake, which could be felt at the fifth level
of Modified Marcelli Intensity (MMI).
All flights to and from Adi Sucipto Airport in Yogyakarta were
suspended following damage to the airport's facilities, Antara
reported from Yogyajakarta.

Not that I know of. The areas up around the lake are essentially drained

ground around the entire area is so generally wet, we'd probably all
just sink into the earth and never be seen again...
Is that supposed to be a loss?
In the opinion of some people, myself included, yes.
Nuh uh. If Veterans Blvd. sank into the swamp, how would we know? I mean,
try this:
Go to your nearest multilane street lined with indistinguishable strip
malls, Starbucks, Targets, Wall-Marts, and big chain bookstores far as the

You've just visited Metaire and Kenner without having to leave your

Oh my, I believe I stand corrected :)
Would you like a chair?
Yes, please. I think I pulled something this morning attempting to
perform the rotating hip bump. Arrrrgh! ;)
I don't wanna know. I just don't wanna know...

Holy *****! Haven't those people suffered enough? How many crust plates
touch in that area? Three, four perhaps?
Well, by the map they are basically the "edge" of the Eurasian plate where
it meets the Australian plate.
http://geology.er.usgs.gov/eastern/plates.html
And if I recall my geology with any degree of accuracy, Indonesia exists
because of being--more or less and very colloquially--"scraped up" by the
plate movement.
Yeah, here's something...
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/southeast_asia/indonesia/tectonics.html
The Australian plate is subducting and, I did not know this at all,
Australia is apparently headed our way.
Anyway. Doesn't look like a good place to have a dense population but no
earthquake codes...
Unless you're a contractor.

_No_ place is a good place to have dense population but no earthquake
codes. Earthquakes happen everywhere.
Here in LaLa Land I'm not so worried, we have good earthquake codes. It's
in places like Dallas, where overpasses are built like they are made out
of children's building blocks, with the overhanging span just _placed_ on
the supports, that bother me. I look at that and shudder. One of these
days, it _will_ fall down. It's only a matter of time.

True but Indonesia is right on the edge of a plate like California is.
Quakes are much more regular where the plates are grinding against each
other.
Here in LaLa Land I'm not so worried, we have good earthquake codes.
Heh. By now, you're probably as blase about quakes as any Angeleno. But
wasn't Whittier-Narrows your first? I'll never forget that damn thing.
Mostly because of the idiot kids at the Jr. High across the street
screaming at the top of their lungs. Between them and the banging sound, I
jumped out of bed and--as you can't walk in the damn things and I was
still half asleep--ran right into the door jamb.
But the best part was the guy on the news ducking under his desk in the
aftershock then peeking out after it was over with those wide eyes. <g>
Not that I blame him given the heavy crap they have hanging over their
heads in those studios but it still looked funny.

That's nothing. Remember Memphis? Somebody better, it's going to vanish
from the face of the planet someday. I saw a shake map for a quake on the
New Madrid comparable to Northridge. The ground in LA is so broken up by
frequent quakes, the waves are dampened. But that's not true in the
Missouri area. The shaking Northridge and their immediate surroundings
experienced would span parts of *seven *states on the New Madrid.
And you hardly ever hear a word about that fault. Even though its produced
7+ quakes as recently as the 19th century.

My wife, though, has yet to experience her first real quake. The last

I did manage to miss the Northridge quake, as I was in SF for a
conference. I had to deal with the aftermath, though. I was dating a
woman in Davis and driving up through the Grapevine, right through some of
the worst of it. Made driving that bit a real pain.

Ah, yes, I remember that, too. The Channel 5 guy, I think. I didn't

Thought it was an 8 or so, although they may have recalibrated it based on
new information. Rang church bells in Boston but at the time there were
few Europeans in the center of the continent so it went largely
unchronicled there. For a good fictional account of a New Madrid quake
check out _The Rift_ by Walter Jon Williams. Yep, Memphis gets it.

Okay, that's it, you asked for it. Too Much Information time.
I went to SF on January 16, 1994 for a Usenix conference. That afternoon
I met up with a woman with whom I had been corresponding. I'll draw a
curtain over the events of the evening, suffice it to say that condoms and
I don't get along well and leave it at that.
The earthquake was at around 4:30 or so the next morning. I found out
about it by an acquaintance (who we had run into in the lobby the night
before on the way to buy said condoms) calling me to ask if I was watching
CNN. I turned it on and woke up.
It was at that moment that I realized that while the earth may not have
moved for me in San Francisco that night, it quite emphatically did do so
in Los Angeles.
(And on a completely related note, January 17 happens to be my birthday.
So I got laid and an earthquake for my birthday that year. Heh. Went on
and married the woman later, but that's another long, sad, sordid story.)

With somewhere around a billion of us I think that some of us had to be born
on the same days.

I can think of a couple of remarks to be made here but every time I try to
type one, my keyboard slaps me...
