about 2 deg west and 2 deg N of where predicted but may be within 300 km. Normally a M5.9 in this area would not catch my eye, but there have only been three M6 and larger in the world in the last month and I'm wondering how that drought will end...with a trickle or a deluge?

No focal mechanism yet: not sure how close to Great Sumatra right lateral fault this is.
