Quake hits off Indonesia

CNN.com reports:

An earthquake measuring a preliminary magnitude of 8.2 struck off the coast of Indonesia today -- on the same fault line that originated a December 26 earthquake that launched a deadly tsunami. The director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said scientists there feared another tsunami might hit the area. "There is a potential for some wave activity," said Julie Martinez, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.

Please pray for the people in those areas, pray for their lives and for early anticipation of what ought to happen for measures to be taken in areas affected.
