Earthquake in Indonesia, tremors felt in Singapore.

Did u feel the tremors? I felt it twice, once at abt 11.50am and another time at 1.55pm.

Felt table floating that lasted for 1~2 seconds... but enough to move the water on my table.
wooo... so exciting and yet scary.

The news from reuter:

"A strong earthquake of magnitude 6.3 shook Indonesia's Sumatra island on Tuesday and was felt in Singapore and Malaysia as well, causing the evacuation of several buildings over 400 km away.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or serious damage.


In the West Sumatra provincial capital of Padang, the quake sparked panic among seaside residents who feared it might trigger a tsunami.


However, there was no immediate warning of a tsunami from the quake, which had an epicentre under land."
