A 7.7 magnitude quake struck Mentawai, West Sumatera. It effected a 3 meters Tsunami. Until Wednesday Oct 27th, it is said that 154 people were killed and more than 400 people were missing. A fantastic number of victims considering the earth quake happened not more than a minute when i just got home from my English course at the time. I didn't even realize it was an earth quake until my firends run for saving their lives.
Monday, Oct 4th and Monday, Oct 25th 2010
On Oct 4th, our Papua deal with a big flood. As many as 164 people were killed and 121 others were reported missing. In Java island, Jakarta was in flood causing traffic jam for hours. Problems appearing in our capital city for years keep unsolved. What was affected that condition? Environment is the key answer. This is must be contemplated. It's not about the disaster but what caused it is because improper environment handling.

I'm so sad to see the disasters in my mother country. Feel so helpless. So i pray: "God, please protect my country and the inhabitants..for whom being the victim, forgive them my God! ..Please stop bad things happening from now and then..Make all of it as a good learning for us to make a better Indonesia in the future. Amin"
