7.5 in Jakarta

OK, So many of you have heard there was a big earthquake in Jakarta on August 8th/9th (depending on which part of the world you are located). Indonesia is a huge archipelago, made up of lots and lots (very technical term) of islands.
Banda Aceh is miles (and islands) away, so I felt nothing. Didn't even know about it until I received a message from my lovely mother saying she knew that I was nowhere near Jakarta, but she still wanted to know I was OK.
I am happy to let you know that I am just fine.
Here is a map of Indonesia for your viewing pleasure. You can see I am located all the way at the northwestern tip of the country.
