Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake Rocks Indonesia: Tsunami Warning Lifted

In Indonesia, a powerful earthquake rocked the west coast, injuring a few people. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 and was centered in the Indian Ocean. Good thing it wasn't anything worse. It probably would have cause a Tsunami and would have injured or killed several. In 2004, an enormous tsunami was spawned and killed over 230,000 residents. I feel so bad for the families of those people, and for the families caught in the earthquake on Monday.
Residents in Bengkulu say they felt the quake strongly, but it didn't cause any major damage. Only some minor damage was recorded thankfully.
