Earthquakes


An earthquake struck in the Samoa Islands setting a new world record on the richter scale, showing 8.3. This earthquake caused 3 tsunamis on the Islands. In Indonesia, an earthquake struck in the country's capital, Jakarta, showing 7.6 on the scale. At least 1,100 people died in the earthquake. United Nations humanitarian chief, John Holmes thinks that more people are trapped in the earthquake and he fears that the numbers will rise as more info. is available. The region has difficulties in telecommunication, power, and roads. Heavy rain fall might have erased the efforts of the rescuers. Corpses are outside of Pandang hospital,ready to be gone.
