Earthquake in Indonesia

Since Indonesia is in the Ring of Fire, Indonesia usuallly gets lots of earthquakes. This earthquake occured on September 2nd, 2009 and the earthquake measured 7.4 on the Richter Scale.

This was my 3rd situation in the earthquake but I think this one was the strongest and the most dangerous earthquake. About 80? people got killed and a lot of people were missing. There were some roads cracked and some buildings falling down and getting damaged by this earthquake.The earthquake yesterday was 40km of the coast of Jasikmalaya. There were tsnami warnings in the radio because the earthquake occured from the sea.

At our school, there was a fairly large snake on the dining table. It came out of the hole because snakes can predict that the earthquake is going to occur. However, humans don't have the sense of predicting natural disasters so we can't do anything before the earthquake occurs.

Pretty good post, Si Won. You've included personal information that makes your post interesting. What about the social studies standard about the environment and the other one about people living in the environment? Next time try to write about these points as well. Nice graphic selection.

Mr. Hughes, I'm a bit confused of the environment and about people living in the environment. I'll try to include these things next time.
