High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2002 Sumatra earthquake occurred at 01:26 UTC on 2 November. It had a magnitude of 7.3 on the moment magnitude scale with an epicenter just north of Simeulue island and caused three deaths. This earthquake is regarded as a foreshock of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which had an epicenter about 60 km to the northwest. The greatest effects were felt on the island of Simeulue, where 994 buildings were damaged, three people died and 65 were injured. The earthquake was also felt at Tapaktuan (VI 'Strong'), Meulaboh and Singkil (V 'Rather strong') in the Aceh province of Sumatra. The rupture area of the 2002 earthquake lies at the boundary between the rupture areas of the 2004 and 2005 earthquakes as determined by the uplift patterns or coral microatolls. Waveforms from this earthquake have been used to model the propagation of Rayleigh waves during the 2004 earthquake using an empirical Green's function analysis.
