20 minutes ago,I just sat in front of the computer desk and suddenly I felt the whole body was shaking.I could confirm that was an earthquake and depend on my past experience,it was quite horrible.
Now I had some official source claiming about this earthquake.It happened at SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA.It was only 475 km (295 miles) SSW of KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia.I think a few of people in Kuala Lumpur had got the feel of it.Here’s the detail from USGS(U.S Geography Survey):
It’s Magnitude 7.9 that must have led to a huge destroy.Pray for the people there!
Update(1)-September 30th,2009:It’s reviewed to Magnitude 7.6 and there’s another Magnitude 5.5 earthquake which happened 20 minutes later than the first one.Unfortunately,the unconfirmed news said that more than 100 people was dead because of the earthquake.
The clear map in Google Maps:
Update(2)-October 1st,2009:The local officer in Southern Sumatra reported that thousands of houses were pulled down whilst a huge number of people was buried alive.Currently they only found around 100 dead bodies,however,the number will be confirmed to increase soon as the rescue team is working on it.
Besides,another earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale happened in Jambi province of Indonesia in this early morning.Up to now,there’s no injured report yet.
