6.1 Richters Struck Indonesia. . . Immediately After Big Volcano Erupted There on Sunday!!!!!

This particular situation that happened in far away Indonesia was found to have been about 1200 Miles East of Sulawesi, and that island was about 600 miles East of Jakarta, or about 1500 Miles East of Banda Aceh so that the epicenter of Sundays Earthquake which FOLLOWED Major Eruption of a big volcano there, too, epicenter would then have been about 2000 miles East of Jakarta and more like maybe 3000 East of Banda Aceh and even further east than a lot of the Philippines or actually ON an island with Papua New Guinea. Likewise the felt report reads much like the list of nearby places for anybody that is familiar with the town names in this region! First a look at the felt report:
