My deepest condolences to all the earthquake victims in Padang

Just in case you didn’t know, there was actually a powerful earthquake hits Padang, Indonesia yesterday (and also two days ago). And according to Wikipedia page

The 2009 Padang earthquake occurred just off the southern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The major shock hit at 17:16:10 local time on September 30, 2009 (10:16:10 UTC, September 30). It registered a moment magnitude of 7.6 making it similar in size to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the 1935 Quetta earthquake, the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, and the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The epicenter was 45 kilometres (28 mi) west-northwest of Padang, Sumatra, and 220 kilometres (140 mi) southwest of Pekanbaru, Sumatra. At least 1100 people were killed as a result, with thousands more trapped in collapsed buildings.

A second earthquake, which measured 6.6 Mw, struck the province of Jambi in central Sumatra, 08:52:29 local time on 1 October 2009 at a depth of 15 kilometres (9.3 mi), about 46 kilometres south-east of Sungaipenuh. It is not yet clear whether the two events are related.

And by posting this i’d like to send my deepest condolences to all the victims affected by yesterday earthquake that happen in Padang, Indonesia and hope that such disaster will never happen again

p.s in case you didn’t know this also, actually one month ago Bandung (and also several other cities as well) also got hits by powerful earthquake, and obviously i’m experiencing that powerful earthquake (but Thanks God, i’m still alive)

    @Darkened Linux,
    Hey, instead of me retyping everything, check out my note to you under “Goodbye Repacks” k? :)
    I love your repack and scripting!
    I’m just making a note in this page cause I see you’ve checked it more recently.
    Cya!

    Did you do the tsunami alert yesterday?

    It’s glad to see you’re alright, it’s sad when these sorts of things happen, unfortunately thus is the nature of the earth and there’s not much we can do to prevent against it. I hope all goes well.

    It is good to hear that you are ok. What graphical images the BBC was streaming of the earthquake. It looks like you got hit really badly.
