Looks like Clementi is the most peaceful place? I don't feel any vibration everytime someone reports such activity.

When was it... I was at Toa Payoh some time earlier and I don't feel it...

I think it depends: I was told my area is built on marine clay so more prone to feeling the impact of distant earthquakes.

 

[Golgotha]

i didn't feel anything too. Maybe the higher u r the more u feel it. :what:

 

[eikin]

i didn't feel anything too. Maybe the higher u r the more u feel it. :what:

that is correct

 

[Alta98]

I felt that too at Marine Terrace.
A report from a US site
"Major earthquake strikes off Indonesia, tsunami warning issued: A large earthquake was recorded early Tuesday in the Andaman Sea off of Indonesia's Sumatra Island, and the U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude was 8.2."

 

[Golgotha]

[afbug]

Tsunami warning lai liao according to CNA/USGS

 

[zhuozehai]

CNA tsunami warning issued to coastal area near earthquake

 

[Yezrah]

Felt a bit shaky just now, this earthquake tremor is probably strong enough to be felt in every parts of Singapore. First time experiencing such a phenomenon.
