EQ 7.0 noteworthy - media hysteria about tsunami, well, what's new? Below reported 6 hours ago meaning 9:00am Pacific time. I've learned to take Tyler Durden and ZeroHedge with many MANY grains of salt! ZH has gotten really sloppy over the past few years.

The quake was about 19 miles deep and had an epicenter about a mile east-southeast of Loloan, according to the USGS. Dwikorita Karnawati, head of Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, told MetroTV that the tsunami warning has ended, adding that the warning was for the lowest level of tsunami, and that small waves just 6 inches high were detected in three villages.
