Today around 7.00pm when I was watching local TV News, the screen suddenly change into a warning announced about “Earth Quake in Bengkulu (Sumatra - Indonesia) and a possibility to trigger Tsunami in that area”. Shock with that announcement, I changed the channel, and found several TV also have the same warning.

Soon after, the breaking news announced that there was a 7,9 in scale earth quake shaking Bengkulu and around including Padang (West Sumatra). And the quake also shook Jakarta and as a result, many people runs out from high building and create panic situation.

And the latest news said, that there were 3 serial quake follows and situated in different places. Malaysia, India, and some other country in Asia, warned their citizen to stay away from the beaches. There is no impact to this island for its distance thousand of miles from Sumatra.
