Quake of magnitude 7.5 shakes East Timor, Australia; no tsunami feared
A powerful, deep 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coasts of East Timor and Indonesia on Monday, and was felt as far away as Australia, but authorities said it did not have the potential to cause a tsunami.
Strong shaking caused alarm in the East Timor capital of Dili prompting people to run out of their houses, a Reuters witness said, but there were no immediate reports of damage, injuries or deaths.
The quake struck in the Banda Sea in Indonesia and was felt across northern Austria. In Darwin, around 435 miles away from the epicenter, it hit at lunch time and office workers sought safety outside. No damage or injuries were reported.
“It’s probably one of the strongest I’ve felt in my time here in Darwin,” Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Chris Kent told ABC Radio Darwin.
The quake, initially recorded at a magnitude of 7.2, was at a depth 220 km (136 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said. Due to the quake’s depth there was no tsunami threat, said the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The Indonesian geophysics agency recorded at least one aftershock measuring over magnitude four on the Richter scale.
The quake was also felt on Indonesia’s holiday island of Bali.
Earlier on Monday, a strong quake of magnitude 6.1 struck the eastern province of Papua but no deaths were reported.
The Ring of Fire is active and the quakes are moving around likely triggering each other. The latest in the Ring:
