Last night 9pm a tsunami caused by the eruption of Anak Krakatau volcano hit Anyer, Tanjung Lesung and Pandeglang in Banten as well as Lampung.

The wave reached 3m.

As of 7am this morning, there are 43 victims.

Please share any additional info. On the road now, so limited time to share this story.
 
This is really a bad year for disasters in Indonesia... :(

According to BNPB latest count there are 43 lives lost, 584 injured, and 2 missing. Numbers will probably rise as more information comes out.


A local band was having a concert on the beach, and the video of the wave hitting the stage behind them is truly terrifying.

 
Its not that long ago my hubby was playing a gig on that beach.
Very sad for all who died.
 
My family and I were out there on Monday, came home on Wed. Lucky we just missed it.
 
Waves created by the cycle of the moon can magnify the size of a Tsunami when they occur simultaneously, but they are not the same.
