M6.9 earthquake/aftershock in Lombok, Indonesia – at least another 10 fatalities – August 19, 2018
Have you felt the shaking? If Yes, tell us by using the I FELT IT form behind the earthquake or at the bottom of this page.
Using our EQ Report iOS or Android app would even be easier and very informative (links in banner above this text).
Read also our report of the M6.3 aftershock earlier today in the same area of Lombok.

Update 07:33 UTC: Intermediate damage UPDATE: at least
* 10 people killed
* 24 people injured
* 131 houses destroyed
The reason that this severe shaking earthquake did not make more suffering and damage is that most of the people stayd outside in the open air because of the fear for aftershocks after the M6.3 earthquake hours earlier.
Important Update 07:26 UTC: ER: CATnews tries to put the scientific approach towards aftershocks after major earthquakes 1 step further.This is NOT to be seen as a earthquake prediction, but a rather an advisory of potentially upcoming direct aftershocks based on a scientific approach utilizing historic and concurrent mainshock-aftershock patterns. Subsequent mainshocks (e.g. the two M6.9 Lombok earthquakes or the sequence around Christchurch in 2010-2011) are not part of this advisory.
Catnews : with the on-going aftershocks, earthquakes around Lombok, Bali and Sumbawa, here is an experimental (direct) aftershock prognosis map
It is hoped this map can support disaster relief and personal welfare.
Update 22:44 UTC: A video from a hotel in Bali where all the tourists did evacuate for the open space.
Wisatawan asing di Bali segera keluar dari bangunan merasakan guncangan gempa 7 SR di Lombok Timur pada 19/8/2018 pukul 21.56 WIB. Gempa dirasakan keras di Lombok Timur. Gempa juga dirasakan di Bali, Sumbawa, Jawa Timur dan Makassar. Masih dilakukan pendataan dampak gempa. pic.twitter.com/2jNBkWDFUf

Update 22:41 UTC: serious cracks in a road
Kondisi jalan retak-retak di Pelabuhan Kayangan Lombok Utara akibat gempa 7 SR pada 19/8/2018. Kerasnya guncangan gempa menyebabkan kerusakan bangunan, longsor di perbukitan dan listrik padam. Komunikasi masih belum dapat dilakukan dengan petugas di Lombok Timur. pic.twitter.com/vO5OZyjjhG

Update 21:06 UTC: Again sad news : At least 2 people got killed during this earthquake.
Update 21:04 UTC: The ultimate explanatory earthquake poster from this earthquake comes from geologist Dr. Jay Patton. Click on the image to be linked to his site. The poster contains lots of important scientific information and can be viewed in full format in his site. Dr Jay Patton is gifted with the ability to translate hard to understand scientific material into easy, everyday language (through texts and images).
Update 18:12 UTC: as could be expected, many many aftershocks
Update 17:58 UTC: Shaking impact on nearby cities and villages and on the population in MMI (Modified Mercalli scaled).
Update 17:54 UTC: Shaking map with possible related damage from the natural disaster specialists at CATnews (Risklayer – CEDIM), Karlsruhe, Germany. Map generated by Andreas Schäfer.
Major damage expected also for #Sumbawa, well felt on #Bali, but not as dangerous (compared to the last one), minor #Tsunami possible (<1m)
Update 17:53 UTC: Based on the present earthquake parameters (Magnitude, Depth, Population, etc) and our experience with earthquake damage impact, earthquake-report.com calls this earthquake extremely dangerous and expects injuries and serious damage
