I was in Bali to have a holiday with my family. It was in the morning, can't remember the time. I just woke up and sitting in front of our cottage with my wife. Suddenly, I felt the land was shaking for a few seconds, stop for awhile, and start shaking again for a few seconds. It was the first time I felt the earthquake.
I checked with the hotel, there was no damage on the hotel and cottage building, but two televisions was falling from the table after the earthquake. It was scaled 6.4 Richter, but I already felt like a very big shake.
I was shocked again when I heard the earthquake in another part of Indonesia, Sumatera island, which was scaled 7.6 Richter on Wednesday. And another after shock scaled 7.0 Richter on Thursday. I cannot imagine how is the shaking there. 6.4 was already big for me, it's like the cottage is moving. From the people I know and have friends there in Sumatera, they told me that they cannot standing during the earthquake because it was shaking very badly.
I feel sorry for the loss of hundreds of people in Sumatera because of the earthquake. May God bless them and give strength to their family.
