It has always been the most active area on earth, most of those islands are volcanic for god sakes! It is THE hot spot on the ring of fire....
I am thinking we are, as you said, just hyper aware of it now...

That might be part of it, but reading one article from Indonesia, one old person commented that it is the worst they have ever seen it. That's not scientific validation, but it makes me think that maybe it is pretty bad right now.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you are saying, but people experiencing traumatic events or extreme climatic activity always seem to say that it's the worst they've ever seen...or the worst they can remember. What's fresh in the mind is more vivid and therefore....the worst they've ever seen.
I too would like to see some scientific data before accepting that the area is in a geological uproar the likes of which has never been seen. [/b][/quote]
Malaysia recently experience an earth quake. I can tell you in all my years of living there, I have never had one single earth quake experience. And since Indonesia and Malaysia are so close together, that's a pretty unusual phenomena.
