BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: Thousands of people here rushed out
of their homes in panic late Wednesday night as a strong quake
jolted the municipality for a few seconds.

Some residents in Way Halim and Karunia Indah housing
complexes told Antara shortly after the quake that they did not
dare go back inside their houses for fear of aftershocks.

They said tremor was quite strong and produced a horrible
rumbling sound.

The Kotabumi office of the Meteorological and Geophysical
Agency has yet to determine the strength of the quake, which
occurred 10:49 p.m. local time.
