A strong earthquake in remote eastern Indonesia cut power lines, cracked building walls and sent panicked residents running out of their homes toward higher ground Sunday, authorities and witnesses said.
The Indonesian Meteorology and Seismology Agency warned that with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 it was strong enough to cause a tsunami. However, there were no immediate reports of giant waves and the warning was lifted within an hour.
The tremor struck at 2:43 a.m. local time, around 137 kilometres off the coast of Manokwari, Papua, at a depth of 10 kilometres. you can read more at Discuss Everything Forums
