Witness location : Yogyakarta (Indonesia) (121 km E from epicenter)

I experienced the worst earthquake killing thousands of ppl in Yogyakarta, May 2006. Just know another strong earthquake shook Yogyakarta.  If you experience it, just run out of the building and stay in open space far from walls, poles, trees etc if you have time, if not, better hide under some strong desks, or board and keep your head protected. As long as the building is not flattened injuries and fatalities can be minimized.
