Earthquake causes panic in Indonesia

Earthquake causes panic in Indonesia :

"'We poured into the streets in panic and ran immediately to higher places fearing a tsunami,' said Salman Rumalesin, a resident of Bula, a Maluku mining town.

The quake caused cracks in some buildings in Ambon as well as in the Timor Hotel in Dili, the capital of East Timor, witnesses said."

It was a 7.7 earthquake, so pretty serious and it seems so cruel that these people can have no rest or peace. Each time this happens they are confonting the trauma of the Boxing Day tsunami. It just seems so unfair.
