INDONESIA has been rocked by a huge 6.2 magnitude earthquake of the coast of West Timor, with tremors reported in Bali and Australia. The quake struck at a depth of 6.2 miles (10km) about 100km (62 miles) southeast of Kupang, in the East Nusa Tenggara province. Experts at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) issued the earthquake alert at about 8.15am BST (2:15pm local time). Five minutes later, it was followed by a shallow 5.6 magnitude quake nearby. A powerful 7.5 magnitude struck Indonesia on Friday, prompting a tsunami warning hours after multiple earthquakes rocked the island. The quake struck near the central Sulawesi region at around 6 p.m. It wasn't immediately clear if there were any injuries or damage resulting from the quake. Story is still being told and will try to update with new info as released. I know some say different numbers as of the size of the quake..
