Earthquake tremors in Jakarta

I was at an insurance company office in Jakarta. We discussed the underwriting loss for a branch. What was the reason?

The technical director said "earthquake, earthquake". I asked, "which earthquake and how did it caused the loss".

He said, "Can you see the office shaking? There is an earthquake now". We all decided to vacate the office and run down to the ground floor and outside the building.

This was the first time that I experienced an earthquake in my life We learned later that there was an earthquake in West Java, about 250 km from Jakarta, measuring 7.5 richter scale. This caused the tremor to be felt in Jakarta.
