- Hi Jeff,
-
- See the article below - this is the sort of beast that
may be brewing under the newly-active MAJOR seismic zone NW of Sumatra.
-
- TOBA lies just inland from the 9.0 Richter tsunamis-forming
earthquake epicentre - on a previously created NW trending fault harmonic
- located onshore within the NW Sumatra Island Arc
-
- During an explosive mega-erruption some 75,000 years
ago, TOBA is thought to have nearly taken out the entire human race.
-
- Krakatoa was a baby's baby in comparison !!!
-
- For more information on TOBA see http://www.victorynewsmagazine.com/ and

TOBA see

-
-
- I am indebted to anthropologist Sandra Belanger of San
Francisco for the data sources re TOBA.
-
- The NW Sumatra seismic event is still in progress (Monday
3-01-05) with regular periodic 5.0-6.5 richter quakes and thousands of
smaller tremblors largely focussed within the proto NNW trending Andaman-Nicobar-Sumatra
Island Arc.
-
- This remains a HIGHLY-DANGEROUS situation and will remain
so for many months.
-
- The lack of regular press alerts on this scenario is
disturbing. The public need to know the potential dangers involved AND
what to do in case of an alert.
-
- Best Regards,
