A strong magnitude 6.7 earthquake caused damage to more than 400 structures, striking on Indonesia's major island of Sulawesi. This occurred on June 16th 2026, and was very close to the maximum theoretical possible magnitude the fault line that generated it could produce. Today's video will discuss this earthquake, and the Sausu Fault which produced it. Thumbnail Photo Credit: Google Earth, Data SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO, Image Landsat / Copernicus.
