After the shocking Tasikmalaya earthquake at the beginning of September, another devastating earthquake struck Indonesia at the end of this month. The tragic event occurred on September 30th at 17.15 and its epicenter was located 45 km WNW of Padang, Sumatera, and 220 km SW of Pekanbaru, Sumatera. Sumatera is one of the five main islands here in Indonesia.
According to the news this morning, until now there are around 529 death and the number keeps on raising (12th Sept update: 807 death). I'm afraid that we might end up with a much higher sum than at the previous event in Tasikmalaya, Java, Indonesia.
My family feels very grateful that my uncle who is currently located in Southern Sumatera has survived this terrible incident. But many, many others weren't that lucky.
It's really heartbreaking to see the news about Sumatera Earthquake right now. There are a lot of people still trapped in the ruins, including educational buildings. Many parents are still seeking for their children in the hope to find them alive...
Would you please be so kind to send your good thoughts and prayers for all of them. My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the victims of the Sumatera Earthquake natural disaster. May the survivors be found and rescued very soon, and have the strength and patience to carry on.

Me too My Girl I felt better seeing you post I figure you're ok if you can do that. You had a lot of people worried for you. When I read the news it hit me how great the distance is between us which didn't make me feel much better please please stay safe OK *hugs* & *squeezes*
I'm so glad you're okay Rosidah. My condolances to the victims and their families.
@All: Thanks for all good thoughts and prayers. Bless you, my dear friends.
The tremors was felt as far as Singapore and I felt nausea and saw slight swaying of the door chain!I'm staying in a top floor of a high rise building. I can't just imagine the suffering the people there have to go through at ground zero.
Hopefully all the aids poured in from overseas will reached those people affected especially those in far flung villages.
My heart goes out to all affected by these disasters of nature.
Hugs and blessings,
