A powerful 6.5R was reported late yesterday in Lombok Region, in Indonesia, at the location shown on the map above. 10 people were reported dead, as buildings collapsed.
The quake struck at 6.47am local time, and its epicentre was located 50km north-east of the city of Mataram on the island of Lombok, which has a population of 319,000.
Tourists near Senggigi, gateway to the popular Gili Islands resorts, reported strong shocks.
“We jumped out of our beds to avoid anything falling on our heads,” said Jean-Paul Volckaert who was woken by the quake in the Puncak hotel.
“We were very surprised as the water in the pools was swaying like a wild sea. There were waves in the pools but only for 20 to 30 seconds,” he said, adding that there was no damage to the hotel.
Many buildings were damaged, Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency said.
We warned via the Indonesia earthquake calendar and on this occasion we were spot on the date. (See also the calendar copy below). We also posted on Schumann Resonances where something strong was felt that was coming.
