Monday’s tsunami along the southern coast of Java has caused devastating losses that are still being counted. Traumatized survivors, many camped out in the hills far from the shore line, are living in fear that another earthquake would trigger another wave of destruction.
The earthquake which triggered a tsunami wiped out the beach resorts and fishing villages along the southern coast of Java. The meteorology and geophysics agency (BMG) said that the Wednesday’s earthquake measured 6.2 on the Richter Scale.
Its epicenter was 48 kilometres below the sea level. BMG official, Weni, said the areas on the west coast of West Java and Banten, as well as those in the south coast of Lampung, were at risk of being hit by a tsunami, the possibility of a tsunami was quickly discounted by other agencies.
