A recent earthquake occurred this January 31, 2013, with a magnitude of 5.0 in Java Indonesia. Not much is really known about it, but it's really quite devastating for Indonesia. This is one of numerous earthquakes that occurred in Indonesia over the past few months. The earthquake in Indonesia that happened on January 21, 2013 in Jakarta, Indonesia was the most recent before this Jan. 31 earthquake, placing with a magnitude of 5.9. Of course, over 71 homes were damaged including 17 injuries and a death of a 14-year-old girl. This event was followed by an aftershock earthquake of a 4.7 magnitude. As well, recent landslides have also killed off a number of people and injuring a far larger amount of people. It's been pretty rough on Indonesia, but hopefully, lots of good things are to come.
