Earthquake jolts Kendari city

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: A mild earthquake shook Kendari city
on Friday night causing panic across the town.

Residents fled out their homes in droves after the 4.0 Richter
scale jolt rattled the city for several seconds. "We are afraid
that we will suffer the same fate as those who live in Nias,"
said Suheriah, a housewife, referring to 8.3 magnitude quake in
Nias, North Sumatra, that claimed the lives of more than 500
people.

The earthquake was felt more strongly than 3.2 Richter scale
quake felt in the city on Wednesday. -- JP
