7.2 quake triggers tsunami on Indonesia's Java, at least 3 killed

**Alpha Dude™**

The tsunami followed a 7.2-magnitude quake that struck deep beneath the Indian Ocean approximately 240 kilometers (150 miles) southwest of Java's western coast.

A powerful earthquake sent a two-meter (yard) high tsunami crashing into a beach resort on Indonesia's Java island Monday, killing at least three people and damaging hotels and houses, a witness told a radio station.

People fled to a nearby hill to escape the wave on Pangandaran beach in west Java, a woman identified as Teti told el-Shinta radio station.
"All the houses are destroyed along the beach,'' she said, adding that at least three people were killed.

The tsunami followed a 7.2-magnitude quake that struck deep beneath the Indian Ocean approximately 240 kilometers (150 miles) southwest of Java's western coast at 3:24 p.m. (0824 GMT), causing tall buildings to sway in the capital Jakarta and at least one other city.

The Pacific Tsunami Center said that there was a possibility of a local tsunami, but no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami.

That's good.

"we must take these natural happenings as a sign that the end time is near"
Or it is just on active fault zones and they have to take protective measures like the Japan do.

I also feel sad,,why it continue happened in indonesia ?
because as indonesian,,I know indonesia is one of startegic,loam and save island country. seems like it become opposite now.
that is because our own fault.
but,,I optimist all of these will be end.

pangandaran,,anyer exactly, is one of a beach place that me and my family often visit every weekend. My cousin have a little villa there. now,,she's feel very lost due the villa has gone by tnusami yasterday. she brought it special for our gathering big family.
I always love to go there,,,I still can smeel the air, the black sand, the coconuts, mango tree, crabs, and the jags sea which it always leave a scarf when I come back home.
and I remember also the sea become a garbage for all near by villagers.

I really miss all like they were before. I hope all of us (Indonesian) to be more careful and concern to nature. I always pray it will be end soon.
