On Sunday at 4:43 a.m. an earthquake took place in Indonesia. Eastern time the earthquake took place on Saturday at 2:43 p.m. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.6 and struck ninty-five miles west-northwest of Manokwari, Indonesia. And almost one-hundred and five miles east-northeast of Sorong. Both are cities in the Indonesian province of West Papua. The earthquake killed a ten year old girl, and left thirty-five others seriously wounded. The toll was one fewer than the two dead recorded during the weekend. Many homes were damaged along with dozens of other buildings. According to an Indonesian agency four buildings totally collapsed. Military workers have been called upon to participate in rescue missions. However no one was left buried under the "rubble" after rescue workers took action minutes after the earthquake. The earthquake was centered at a depth of 21.7 miles. Following the earthquake a tsunami warning was issued but ended within an hour after the tsunami. I believe in global warming, therefore I believe global warming created the earthquake.
