Everything was banging and shaking’: 7.6 magnitude earthquake off Indonesia rocks Darwin​

1104.jpg
Residents of Darwin and much of the Top End have reported “violent” shaking of their houses after they were jolted awake by a strong earthquake off Indonesia.

The 7.6 magnitude undersea quake struck near Indonesia’s Tanimbar Islands, east of Timor-Leste, early on Tuesday, with the epicentre at a depth of about 90km.

It was felt hundreds of kilometres away, particularly in Darwin (pop. 150,041)

BMKG reported the earthquake as M7.9 at a considerable depth of 131 km at 337 km (209 mi) WSW of Tual (pop: 39,500). Nila is the nearest volcano located at 95 km from epicenter. Nila stratovolcano forms a small 5x6 km island in the Banda Sea, Indonesia. It has a low caldera breached at sea level on the south and east.

Twenty-three minutes after the M7.6 earthquake, the first aftershock of magnitude 5.4 was recorded.

New island appears in Indonesia after earthquake M7.6 residents asked to be alert

A new island suddenly appeared after an M7.6 earthquake struck in and around Maluku, Indonesia, on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

The island is known to be located at sea level in Teineman Village area, Wuar Labobar district, Tanimbar Islands regency.

Junus Frederick Batlayeri, Head of the Tanimbar Islands District Information and Communication Service (Kominfo) confirmed this phenomenon.

"We saw that there were oddities after the earthquake," Frederick said, quoted by Tribun Ambon.

"So, maybe the earthquake was big enough, so this weird thing appeared," he continued.

The Maluku Tribune reported that the man claimed to be the person in charge of the Teineman Village area.

"This is a strange incident that originated from last night's earthquake in our village, Teineman Village. That is why I am responsible for taking alternatives, I instruct the whole community to evacuate temporarily," said the man who was not identified.

Meanwhile, according to information gathered by Maluku Tribune, the new island that emerged after the earthquake was named Batu Arang by the residents of Teinamam village.

They suspect that Batu Arang Island, which is located between Kabawa Island and Desa Karatat Island, has existed for a long time, but is invisible to the naked eye because it is in the sea. :huh: They are investigating.

The veracity of the information regarding the island’s emergence has not been confirmed as it needs more in-depth study, Coordinator for Data and Information at the Ambon Geophysical Station of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Luthfy Pary said.

The phenomenon could point to the formation of a mud volcano, but this case needs more investigation, Pary added.

"The information we obtained is not complete; whether the phenomenon is purely caused by the earthquake or not, so far we have not received accurate information," he said.
