Increased seismic activity outside Phuket

[JohanB]

69 quakes, with a strength of 4.2 - 5.5 in a close cluster within 3 weeks north of Banda aceh, west of Phuket. 

It’s the same area that released the 2004 quake....Is there anything to worry about?

I think there was increased seismic activity before the big quake and tsunami in 2004...

i would be worry if there are no activitys for a long time.

Every small quake eases the pressure. That's a good thing.

The 2004 earthquake was of a very rare type whereby two plates slipped vertically, which caused the tsunami. Most earthquakes, the slippage is lateral; no tsunami.

If I would live near the coast, I would for sure pack a "Go-Bag" just in case...
