«Breaking News» Magnitude 6.2 quake strikes near an Indonesian island devastated by a tsunami

Indonesia has been struck by another earthquake just days after a deadly tsunami, which was sparked by a major quake.

The magnitude 5.9 earthquake was recorded near the southern Indonesian island of Flores on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

There were no immediate tsunami alerts or reports of casualties or damage.

Flores is about 1600km south of Sulawesi island where just four days ago a devastating 7.5 quake struck, triggering the devastating tsunami.

At least 844 people were killed, with families being forced to comb through body bags in an attempt to identify their missing relatives.

The death-toll is expected to rise as authorities reach areas that were cut off by the disaster.

Nearly 50,000 people have been displaced from their homes in Palu alone, and hospitals were overwhelmed.

Rescuers have been searching for people through the ruins in Palu, the main city where the brunt of the damage happened.

The quake triggered tsunami waves as high as six metres (20 feet) on Friday that smashed into the city's beachfront, about 2 km from the hotel. About 12 people have been recovered from the ruins of the hotel, three of them alive. 

Indonesia has said it would accept offers of international aid, having shunned outside help earlier this year when an earthquake struck the island of Lombok.

Power has yet to be restored in the area and access by land to outlying villages has been disrupted by broken roads, landslides and downed bridges.

Aftershocks have rattled jangled nerves.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
