The hardest-hit area appeared to be Pangandaran, an idyllic beach resort popular with tourists. Witnesses there said people shouted "Tsunami! Tsunami!" and climbed trees or crowded into inland mosques as the wave approached. The Indonesian Red Cross, police and district officials said at least 82 people were killed, most in Pangandaran and nearby Cilacap. El-Shinta radio reported four other deaths. "We are still evacuating areas and cross-checking data," Red Cross official Arifin Muhadi told The Associated Press. He said 77 people were missing... ...A witness told el-Shinta he saw the ocean withdraw 1,500 feet from the beach a half-hour before the powerful wave smashed ashore, a typical phenomenon before a tsunami. "I could see fish jumping around on the ocean floor," Miswan said. "Later I saw a wave like a black wall." Local media reports said the wave came as far 900 feet inland in some places. Buildings sit close to the beach in Pangandaran... ...Java was hit seven weeks ago by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that killed more than 5,800 people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
