Earthquake Rattles Google News

A pretty big earthquake occured today in the Banda Sea in eastern Indonesia. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) the quake was measured at 7.7 on the richter scale but well below the surface. No indications of a tsunami but "officials" claim that it is all clear. It would be nice to have an ocean cam over the area to see for sure though. That being said, the story has jumped into the spotlight just below the Palestinian Election that was won by Hamas. Incredibly, this has become the focus of nearly all news agencies around the world with over 5000 sources covering it. This compares only to Hurricane Katrina as the most covered story in the world so far. Still many have no idea why the general public in Saskatchewan would give a rats ass about it.
