Concerns about the earthquake’s impact are being discussed online.
Is this big enough to produce a Tsunami? Apparently maybe only a small localised one, but I’m supposed to be getting the ferry from Lombok to Bali shortly and two of those have already burnt down the last 2 weeks!
I know large earthquakes are effectively random (ignoring aftershocks) but this feels like a lot this year, yeah?
So Google Earth says the ocean depth at the epicenter is 6,286 ft / 1,916 m, but I couldn’t find a corresponding tsunami alert or evaluation of risk.
