Disaster strikes Java

On September 02 2009 around three o' clock, a disaster hits java, Indonesia. The whole island was shaking from small to big. It was only a few minutes around Jakarta, but in Bandung and Tasikmalaya it was shaking for ten minutes because it was the closest cities to the ocean. This natural disaster caused 2,900 people to be seriously injured and 48 dead. There are also people who are not found yet becasue they're trap underneath houses that collapsed, mostly in the villages. It was 7.0 RS. Scientists said there's going to be an earthquake 30 times more then this, but they're not sure when. Can you imagine it? This earthquake was really dizzy and scary enough for me!



As we know earthquakes comes from underneath oceans, which causes the water to rise. Scientist and reporters gave out a tsunami warning, but already in some places there was flood. It's not surprising because we are on the ring of fire, unlike if it was in Europe or other places away from it, it would be shocking. As you heard people say that animals always come out before the earthquake or act abnormal, it's because they have senses. If they live underground they would probably hear it or feel the vibration, but if they're not underground they have instincts and don't act like themselves. here's a real life story: In school, when most people were gone home, the teachers were having a meeting when suddenly a big fat snake came out of nowhere. Out of all the days of it's life, the snake chose this day to finally come out to warn people about this earthquake. The teachers were all scared but they didn't realize that it was a warning because they weren't use to earthquakes. Your pet might run around in circles or make unusual noises.

So just be careful.....
