Scientists give new Sumatra quake warning.

Scientists give new Sumatra quake warning. :

"The research team is headed by the same expert who predicted with uncanny accuracy a quake that struck Sumatra on March 28, barely three months after the December 26 temblor, one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded.

He fears the next quakes may be as high as 7.5 and 9 respectively on the Richter scale and in the latter case, cities along much of Sumatra's west coast would be exposed to a tsunami."

You can understand the anxiety about not rebuilding too quickly. Managing this has to be extremely..impossibly.. difficult..but when, oh when, are the poor people of Sumatra going to get a break? It is just not fair and I know neither life nor nature is fair..but it's still not fair.
