Update 8:35am: This is a strange earthquake all right. It was felt from Jakarta all the way to Bali yet there has been no reported damage or injury so far. Lots of people got scared and ran out of their houses. The water level pool in our house in Bali dropped 30cms, but we do not know if it is directly related to the quake. But no one or any buildings seems to have been injured or damaged. Twilight Zone stuff.

Bayi: Not so much scary but unsettling. Was in bed reading and about to fall asleep when it happened. It seemed like the quake lasted a long time. First I wondered if I was imagining that the room was moving. Then when I saw the lights swaying I knew it was a quake. By then it seemed like a long time but it kept going. The inbuilt cupboards started giving little creaks. That’s when I decided to walk to the backyard, out of the building just to be safe. After that it stopped.

Almost 6000 medium to large (above 5.0 SR) earthquakes occured in Indonesia every year (ar almost 17 amoks every day) …..
So, Indonesians have to to invade to Australia to move there and let our existing lands as “paradise garden” for the world…
