Just after today’s 8.0 earthquake in Samoa, a 7.6 earthquake has hit West Sumatra near Padang.
Initially there were tsunami warnings, but they have since been scaled down. While there might be some damage to buildings, it doesn’t look like there has been any serious injuries yet or loss of life.
It is still early to tell though. The earthquake could be felt in Malaysia and Singapore according to CNN.
Update: CNN has reported that 13 people have died in the quake.
