Death Toll in The 7.5 Richters Indonesia Earthquake/Tsunami Currently at Over 800, But Expected To Go Into 1000's!!! Felt In Jakarta, and Taiwan, Too!!!

The result of the shaking from the 7.5 Richters Earthquake at Sulawesi,Indonesia seems to actually be a lot of the cause of death up to this point since pictures of much, much damage are getting a lot of the attention with regards to this Major Earthquake/Tsunami Event!!! I've viewed much of this area, as can you, on Google Earth and see that a lot of the region such as the town of Dongalla along the water there. Actually seen and crossed with the avatar, the bridge now being shown as collapsed, too!!! Here's a link to a great story with all the latest as of late Sunday. Death toll now over 800 and will probably go much higher there@ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45701060

Now here's the final felt report looks like it's going to be just these 17 that were delivered to our own USGS and contains one from Jakarta!!! Would you look at the number of miles or Kilometers from the epicenter:

Lot of shaking at Chile!!! The two latest alerts for this region are currently at Day 14, and Day 17 and so both alerts for Tocopilla, and Antofagasta got a lot ways to go, there! Here's Chile with the first two from the end of Fridays list:

This is a fine example of the ones that happen. . . but do not come to my phone because in the case of this one, the epicenter was 15 miles south of the border between California and Mexico, and so a 4.4 "Mexico" Earthquake was found much later and here it is now and followed by the felt report as you can see contains San Diego, there:

4.4 - 9km NNW of Delta, B.C., MX
2018-09-29 02:17:48 UTC 32.423°N 115.238°W 11.7 km depth

Appears the tsunami did not leave this region of Sulawesi and although reports initially said 2 meters or 10 feet, have seen indications that waves might have been even higher. THAT'S what I meant at the beginning of this edition when I expressed surprise that now so much damage is from the earthquake, and I suppose there MUST have been a lot of deaths from the tsunami, too!!! I'll have updates on this event in upcoming editions of my EQ Blog! Meantime God Bless all my friends over there in Indonesia!!!
