Panic rushed through Indonesia when a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 and two strong aftershocks struck the country’s Bali and Java islands.
The quake was followed by aftershocks of magnitude 5.4 and 5.6 that hit the Bali sea a few minutes later, just before dawn.
Many residents and tourists rushed out of their homes and hotels toward higher ground after reporting powerful shockwaves, but the situation returned to normal after they received text messages saying the quake had no potential to trigger a tsunami. Clouds hover around an island of Bali, Indonesia. A powerful earthquake rocked Indonesia’s Bali and Java islands Tuesday.
"I thought the walls were going to come down on the hotel," an Australian tourist said on social media. People in the neighboring provinces of East Java, Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara also felt the tremors and panicked as houses and buildings swayed for several seconds.
