Lingering Aftershocks

Aftershocks of the huge December 26, 2004 earthquake continue to be felt in Aceh province. A 5.6 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra just yesterday (view map legend). Last week a powerful aftershock rocked Banda Aceh, a cause for much alarm in people who are now quite fearful of a repeat of the recent tsunami. Dave Ketcham, volunteering at the Pactec Internet Café in Banda Aceh, has an account of the aftershock on his blog.
