Per Ken Kurtis' newsletter, he's got a group scheduled to touch down in that area today or tomorrow.
 
As long as there's no seconds, they should be OK, though might be a tad surgey for a bit.

Ack, I just remembered what it was like to shore board the boat for dives when the surf was up. Yikes.
 
Oops, sitting here at the airport of Morotai, North Moluccas and did not know anything about it. Felt nothing and heard nothing.

Struck at approximately 11 pm your time.

Tsunami warning since called off.
 
Very bad. The last quake which hit South Halmahera was very hard for the people there. At our Weda Resort there was no damage. But at least 1.000 houses in the South have been damaged and the number of deaths is 4 until now. I was at Rao and did not feel anything.
