Tsunami in south java

It is reported that the water reached 2-3 km from the shore lines. There are casualities , mostly those who are in the beach line - reported 20 people found in Pangandaran beach including a foreigner. At least there are 2 hotel right in front of the beach that are damaged - strucked by the tsunami . Other affected place are Kebumen village, Tasikmalaya, Pangandaraan , Cilacap - basically the south line of Java.

Evacuation now should be already going on - people are rushing to a higher place , like a hill. Hope this government people can take the job - specially in this time where they are required to do quick anticipation !

By now, the water is reported to be back to the normal level - but people are still scared - they do not want to quickly go back to their home.

There were 5 times of earthquake reported today - the scale were 5 to 6 Ritcher scale.

Smaller earthquake was also reported in NusaTenggara Island - but so far no serious damages is reported.
