You can't underestimate the earthquake even though its strength is not too big around 5.6 but in fact many people died that is around 56 people and more than 700 people were injured. What do we do if there is an earthquake? Should have looked for a place far from the building but because it happened suddenly so many were crushed by the rubble, Millions of people in Indonesia felt the earthquake on November 21, but the worst affected was the Cianjur area, Bogor city. The range of the wobble is about hundreds of kilometers because the epicenter of the earthquake at a depth of 10 km southwest.

I am terriafied of earthquakes because ours is the country with more earthquakes in the world. We build our houses thinking about them so for us a 5.6 Richter quake is nothing. But I am very sorry when people die. Even one is one too many

Maybe for some people the 5.6 SR earthquake is nothing but if it is directly, of course all buildings are destroyed without anything left, if the earthquake occurs on land then if it is above 4 an early warning must be given before it is too late.

@May2k8 We have warnings. And of tsunamis too. An earthquake is ALWAYS a lot.

@marguicha Our earthquakes are always moving, which is more dangerous if more than one point is shaking. A tsunami is obtained if the mountain breaks, as happened in Indonesia a few years ago.

@sol_cee Yes, I am far from there, throughout the history of 2022 Jakarta is also threatened because a megatrust earthquake can happen anytime after this.

That's a strong quake. It is always devastating because you will not know how to react no matter how many times they instruct you. The shock can be unnerving. Hopefully, there will be no more loss of lives and property.

In practice it is not like in theory because it happened so fast, there are about 22,000 houses that have been destroyed there and hundreds of people are no longer alive.

I was a little surprised that this time the earthquake reached Jakarta even though the distance was further than the previous earthquakes.

@Dreamerby If we are in a tall building of course everything will be dark because the electricity will be temporarily turned off and all machines will not function and return to normal if for 30 minutes there are no more earthquakes.

I am grateful that Hong Kong is not in the earthquake zone. But I did experience earthquake when I visited Japan some years ago. Everything was shaking. It was scary.

This is a new thing that is still being investigated here, generally the earthquake is not that strong... Even I who live in Jakarta need to be alert because the epicenter of the earthquake could spread.
