Hundreds of private companies' employees working in multi-
story buildings on thoroughfares, such as Jl. Jend. Sudirman (see
photos) lined up outside their evacuated buildings following the
tremor which rocked the city yesterday.

Many of those working in multi-storied buildings panicked when
the quake measuring six in Richter scale hit Jakarta.

Those in top floor offices said they had made "necessary
preparations" because rumors said another strong quake would jolt
the capital again soon.

Many went home early, while others tried to contact their
families by phone.

The Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) announced soon
after the quake that the epicenter was 33 kilometers below sea
level in the Indian Ocean. But the Agency did not say if the
quake was connected with the Krakatau volcano's activity.
