The Perwita Sari Hotel… during the 1 minute 4 second earthquake of May 27 2006 the pool developed waves that were estimated to be 6 foot in height. It’s all quiet at the moment!
The earthquake occurred at 05:54 local time on 27th May 2006 in the Indian Ocean around 25 km south-southwest of the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta, near Galur, on the southern side of the island of Java, 17.1 km below the seabed. Jakarta’s Meteorology and Geophysics Agency determined the hypocentre to be about 37 km south of Yogyakarta, 33 km below the seabed. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3. Two aftershocks, measured at 4.8 and 4.6, occurred between 4 and 6 hours later.
