Another Earthquake this time in Indonesia. I found this info at nzherald.co.nz
JAKARTA, Indonesia - The US Geological Survey says another powerful earthquake has shaken western Indonesia.
The 6.9 magnitude quake struck at 08:52 a.m. local time Thursday on Sumatra island, about 280 kilometres from the epicentre of a more powerful quake overnight.
Rescue efforts are under way around the area worst hit by Wednesday's quake, the regional capital of Padang on West Sumatra.
At least 200 people died there and thousands are said to be trapped under collapsed buildings throughout the province.
There were no immediate reports of damage from the second quake.
I'll update this when i find more information
