Earlier this evening, I went to a lecture at King Edward VI 5 Ways as part of a joint GA / RGS event. I blogged about it HERE.
On arriving at my hotel room, I turned on the TV to see reports of a major earthquake in American Samoa, and started to follow a few leads on it, with relation to the forecast tsunami. One of the threads of Iain Stewart's presentation referred to the 2004 tsunami and the cultural connections.
There was also an unconnected earthquake in Indonesia close to the city of Padang, which has a population of around 900 000

Also worth checking the new SWANWICK SEISMOLOGY blog of Victoria Ellis, and colleagues and students at Swanwick Hall School in Derbyshire.
The school was given a seismometer as part of the scheme.
