BREAKING Massive TSUNAMI strikes Indonesia after Volcano Krakatoa eruption

Least 20 Killed, 165 Wounded After Possible Landslide-Driven Tsunami Hits Indonesia,

Government officials from Indonesia say that at least 20 people were killed after a tsunami struck around the country’s Sunda Strait. The tsunami may have been a result of an undersea landslide near the Krakatoa Volcano.

The national disaster management agency says 165 people were hurt and dozens of buildings were damaged Saturday night,

Officials warn that the death toll is likely to rise further. The disaster management agency said high seas as a result of the full moon may also have contributed to the strength of the wave.

‘There were two waves’ – eyewitness account

I was on the beach. I was alone, my family were sleeping in a room (in a hotel).

I was trying to photograph the erupting Krakatoa volcano.

Earlier in the evening, there was quite heavy eruption activity. But just prior to the waves hitting the beach, there was no activity at all. It was just dark out there.

And suddenly I saw this wave coming, and I had to run.

There were two waves. The first wave wasn’t that strong – I could run from it.

I ran straight to the hotel, where my wife and my son were sleeping.

And I woke them up… and I heard a bigger wave coming. I looked out of the window when the second wave hit. It was much bigger.

The wave passed the hotel. Cars were pushed off the road.

We and other people at the hotel went straight to the forest (on higher ground) next to the hotel. And we’re still up on the hill now.
