DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION AFTER SUMATRA QUAKE.
A terrible
7.7 magnitude earthquake occurred on the 25th October 2010 in Sumatra,
Indonesia.
The quake
caused a tsunami which struck the Mentaway Islands.
The waves
reached a height of 3 metres and destroyed ten villages. A DISASTER!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LATEST
data told that more than 400 people were killed and over 100 hundred are still
missing.
Many
residents in Padang ( West Sumatra) had to change their house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also
damages and bad weather have delayed efforts to reach the interested area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also heavy
rain has prevented helicopters from accessing the area, and nobody could reach
the islands,
also
because the dock had been destroyed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
earthquake occurred around 7 hours after the eruption of the Merapi Volcano,
on the
Indonesian Island of Java but experts say there is a very little chance that
the
two events
are connected.
