The Islands of Indonesia were struck again by a massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake, that instantly killed over 150 people and injured over 200 people. Unconfirmed reports say that the earthquake was good enough to bring down over five buildings across Sumatra Islands which was close to the epicenter 30 miles that was identified to be 50 kilometers away from the Southern Sumatra islands.
The real death toll and loss to property could be far higher and clear picture will emerge only after few days. Ever since the beginning of 2008, Indonesia has been disturbed on a frequent basis by earthquakes. And as per one study, part of Indonesian islands are expected to go under seawater due to future earthquakes.
