Earthquake in Indonesia and Tsunami in Samoa

An Indonesia tsunami is something to fear, since the last major Indonesia tsunami killed over 200,000 people. Today, a small Indonesia Tsunami Small After Latest Major Earthquake
Indonesia tsunami broke out after a major earthquake, though the tsunami warnings quickly died down. For the second time in two days, a powerful earthquake struck in the other side of the world, followed by a tsunami. But the Indonesia tsunami today was very small, compared to the powerful killer earthquake and tsunami that struck yesterday in Samoa.
The last major Indonesia tsunami made massive headlines at the end of 2004, when a 9.15 earthquake started the Asian tsunami that killed over 200,000 across the Indian Ocean. Fears of another major Indonesia tsunami were in the air today, after a 7.6 earthquake hit the country today, 33 miles from Padang.
According to CNN, the original fear was that the earthquake was a 7.9, but its power got decreased afterwards. A tsunami warning was soon declared, although after the subsequent tsunami measured at just under a foot high, the warning was called off.
With no major Indonesia tsunami after this earthquake, the country avoided being the second one this week alone to be struck by a devastating earthquake and tsunami. The Samoan islands weren't so lucky yesterday, as they were struck by an 8.0 earthquake, followed by a tsunami that has already killed 84 people, with the numbers likely to rise in the days ahead.
The Samoan tragedy likely won't reach the heights of the Indonesia tsunami in 2004, though few tragedies ever could. But the new wave of major earthquakes and tsunamis, within these last two days, is quite unique and unsettling.
Just several days ago, the biggest story in Indonesia was of a 19-pound baby being born. Now, the news becomes deadly serious again, as the latest earthquake damaged a lot of buildings, although no casualties are reported yet. As such, Indonesia's difficulties in the days ahead will likely take a back seat to Samoa, as the death toll and damage from their tsunami rises.
No official cause has been found yet for both the recent earthquakes, although since they took place in the vulnerable South Pacific, that might be cause enough.
