Indonesia earthquake: UK holiday favourite Lombok hit by second MASSIVE 7.0 quake

A magnitude 7 earthquake has struck off the north coast of Indonesia's island of Lombok on Sunday, the Indonesian Meteorological Agency said.
A tsunami warning has been issued for the quake, which occurred at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), the agency said.
The latest quake follows a similar disaster exactly one week ago which killed 17 people.
The quake struck the popular tourist destination at 6.47am local time (2347 BST) and its epicentre was 50km north-east of the city of Mataram, which has a population of 319,000.

Eye-witness Jean-Paul Volckaert, who was woken by the quake at the Puncak hotel last week, said: “We jumped out of our beds to avoid anything falling on our heads.
“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.”
Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported the islands had experienced more than 100 aftershocks in the four hours after last week’s quake and feared a further major tremor was imminent.

She had moments earlier written: "MASSIVE earthquake."
So far there are no reports on damage or further infortmation on casualties.
