Wild video from Palu (UPT BKN Palu, -0.901682, 119.882871) appears to show serious liquefaction, with all sorts of local differential motion breaking up the ground in place youtube.com/watch?v=Y02jdZ…

Friday fun - programming slip tendency analysis in Python! I decided to gradually move from Matlab to Python, which requires recoding my old Matlab codes. But so far so good, on the right is the output from MATLAB, on the left from Python. Experience so far: Python is much faster
