Krakatoa was a volcanic eruption, not an earthquake.

Seismic activity both.

That's volcanic seismic activity, and the shake of a mountain exploding. The resulting tsunami was devastating.

I have this feeling that a big one is due towards Java, as big as Krakatoa... read somewhere that some Seismologist had forewarned about it.

The previous earthquake my mum was at Padang, that was scary event for me, couldn't contact her not knowing is the biggest headache. She had seen PT Matahari Building collapsed and showroom cars flattened. After that, told her to reduce her travel to Padang, so this time she is safe and sound in Singapore.

Anyway, my prayers and thoughts are for all to be safe with minimum damages.

yes, the super big one is coming, if u observe the frequency of earthquakes around the world, they are getting more frequent as years passed ... :sweat: make sure your dry cabinet can withstand shock impact ..

Yes, we could imagine the ferocity as an entire island dissappeared, what's left is now called Anak Krakatoa.

I think Singapore has got to be one of the safest place to be, we are on solid granite. We should be a thankful lot.

never tought in geography class ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa
it has global climate implication which is long lasting (at least 5 years)

some people in indonesia believe the next time it erupts, it is the end of the world

I am waiting for which minister to come out and say, Singapore is natural disasters-free lol

how are you guys relating the earthquakes to volcanic erruption..what happened in Krakatoa was a major volcanic activity, earthquakes are good in a sense they release the energy and in the end "preventing" these massive volcanic erruptions
