Hundreds of people fled into the streets in cities across eastern Indonesia after a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake

The tsunami warning was lifted about two hours after the quake struck at 0320 GMT in the Flores Sea, about 112 km northwest of the town of Larantuka, in the eastern part of Flores island.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, had a magnitude of 7.3. It struck at the shallow depth of 12 km."It felt like a wave, up and down," Zacharias Gentana Keranz, a resident of Larantuka told Reuters. The quake, from an active fault in the Flores Sea, was followed by at least 15 aftershocks with the biggest registering magnitude 5.6, the meteorological agency said.Indonesian earthquakes have triggered many deadly tsunamis, most notably in 2004 when a 9.1 magnitude quake off Sumatra island in the north produced tsunami waves that killed more than 230,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and nine other countries.
