The whole office tower gave a sudden jolt at 6.05pm I remember vividly, I was staring at the

monitor screen when i felt the like the whole office swayed, i felt dizzy. With a heavy heart, it

occurred to be that Indonesia must be experiencing a destructive quake.

Concurrently i felt anguish and dismay, as if typhoon Katsana wasn't bad enough now, the

quake 7.6 magnitude had caused 4000 folks in Padang buried under rubble, with death toll in

the thousands.

The disasters have chosen to hit Asian's poorest nation, a lack of heavy digging equipment was

hampering the search, and the people were just using shovels and their bare hands to clear

landslides and dig out bodies.

I grieve for these victims and those whom had lost their families and their home destroyed. I

prayed that God will save those still trapped in the rubble. Appealing to all those rich ass

countries please send help of all kinds food, water, and medical. Some rural districts have not

received any outside help.
