    Is this big enough to produce a Tsunami? Apparently maybe only a small localised one, but I'm supposed to be getting the ferry from Lombok to Bali shortly and two of those have already burnt down the last 2 weeks!

    A hearsay though, usually a random country experiences large quakes after an eclipse

    I know large earthquakes are effectively random (ignoring aftershocks) but this feels like a lot this year, yeah?

    So Google Earth says the ocean depth at the epicenter is 6,286 ft / 1,916 m, but I couldn't find a corresponding tsunami alert or evaluation of risk.

      Looks like it was a slip fault, so much lower tsunami risk compared to a subduction fault.
