Scenes of devastation in Lombok following 7.0-magnitude earthquake and multiple aftershocks
  • 6 years ago
Video shot by a local in North Lombok shows the devastation of the Indonesian island caused by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake early this month and the several powerful aftershocks that followed.

This was filmed on August 18 at around 11 am.

Over 400 people died in the tragedy and hundreds of thousands have been displaced after the powerful quake leveled homes and structures across Lombok.

On Sunday (August 19), two aftershocks of magnitude 5.4 and 6.5 rocked the island again, triggering a landslide as dust and rubble tumbled down Mount Rinjani. Tremors were also felt in neighboring tourist hotspot Bali.
