"It was a powerful earthquake and many people have become victims," she said.

An earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter Scale rocked West Sumatra on Wednesday (Sept 30). In the disaster, more than a thousand West Sumatrams died under the rubble of collapsed buildings and the soil of landslides.
Padang city and Padang Pariaman district were the parts of West Sumatra hardest hit by the temblor.
