During the night time there was a 8.7 magnitude earthquake in Indonesian island Nias. The authorities think that it has caused the death of about 1000 or even 2000 people.

Due to bad wheather conditions on the island the rescuers have hard time finding people. The visibility is just about 400 meters.

This earthquake took place about 100 miles from the place of the earthquake that caused the Tsunami three months ago (killing about 300,000 people).
