Earthquake Strikes

Today 30th Of September 2009, around 18.18pm i was watching television program after a whole day work. I stay at condominium where very near to the Malacca strait, while i was watching t.v. i feel myself shaking and spinning but impossible than i notice my lamps which hanging on the wall was shaking very quick though in my mind is earthquake which come from Indonesia.

So i run out from the house and see so many people running out toward outside guard house to find the what is happening. Just few minute we got a news where there is a earthquake magnitude 7.9 strikes at Indonesia West Sumatra 23 minutes ago. The quake was recorded about 33 miles from Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra, which is home to more than 800,000 people.

Several buildings were damaged, Metro TV reported. People were seen running out of their homes and toward the hills.


Well, disaster again happen and at the same time i also know that at Samoa happen tsunami and the The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia.

For Samoa there is no early warning for Samoa tsunami and Some Samoan residents said they had little or no warning of Tuesday's deadly tsunami, despite the development of an early alert system in the wake of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean disaster.

More than 50 people were killed after a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami over the remote Pacific islands of Samoa and American Samoa, wiping out entire villages and sweeping cars into the sea.
