Jakarta EARTHQUAKE!!!

I just came back from an evacuation due to an earthquake. Read about it here.

I was fast asleep when the earthquake hit about 12:10 AM. The shaking woke me up. Sounded like the windows were cracking and the whole room was swaying. I stood up, not sure what was going on and it felt like I was walking drunk. It felt like waves moving under my feet. The fire alarm went off for three seconds, then ceased. I followed a bunch of people down the stairs.

They finally let us return to our rooms about 35 minutes after the initial shaking. Time to try and get back to sleep.
