M 7.7 Quake, Indonesia

[davenn]

Another large quake on my seismo ( In Sydney, Australia) this morning ....

Saved image before the trace started overwriting itself ... that's 55 minutes of recording shown

M 7.7 - 68 km NNW of Ende, Indonesia​

• 2026-08-14 21:58:21 (UTC)
• 8.310°S 121.352°E
• 10.0 km depth

This is the 11th M 7.0 - 7.9 for the year and we are half way through August.
So far, the numbers are trending about normal for the annual average of 18 / year.

M7.0 - 7.9's / year range from around 12 to 25 or around 1 every 20 days.
That allows for any approx. 6 more M7 events over the next 4 months till the end of the year
and still be at the annual average.

cheers
Dave

Dang. What would the tsunami risk for these quakes be? I see a city named Sikka near the coast. Is the water deep enough to be conducive for tsunami formation? Hopefully, people and buildings are safe.
