Tsunami Earthquake shake Indonesia again

Aceh, Indonesia shaking by an earthquake today with 7,2 Richter scale.

So far no damage or casualties have been reported and the situation is under control. It may be recalled that in 2004 earthquake triggered a tsunami in the same region and killed thousands of people not only in Indonesia but many countries around Indian Ocean.

The Sumatra Indonesia earthquake today likely brought painful memories for many residents in Sumatra. Back in 2004, Indonesia saw the most historically devestating underwater earthquake of a 9.1 magnitude hit off the coast of Sumatra. It triggered a deadly tsunami which killed over 200,000 people from 14 different countries and caused over $10 billion in damage.
