5.9 - West Coast of Sumatra

I felt a small tremors and blogged about this in my personal blog.

Date : 11 Oct. 2005

Time : 11.07 pm

Place : Penang

Did anyone feel tremors? I do. Just a mild one but the water in the aquarium did shake a bit.

True enough, an earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Ritcher scale struck off the west coast of Sumatra at 11.05pm.

Confirmed by the Meteorological Department.

I wonder if other Penangites/Malaysians feel the tremors?
