00:01peace be upon you and god's mercy welcome to a new episode of the program what's happening
00:07today is sunday august 16 2026 or september 16 2026 and today is the third of rabbi al-awal
00:16new video clips have started to emerge documenting the first moments of the tsunami striking
00:22indonesia yesterday after the devastating earthquake that struck indonesia with the magnitude of 7.7 on
00:31the richter scale which hit the island always in southeastern indonesia of course two devastating
00:40earthquakes struck indonesia the first with a magnitude of 7.7 and the second 12 hours later
00:48with a magnitude of 7 on the richter scale but some people ask me is the strength of this earthquake
00:54the same as the one that struck earth no the earthquake in turkey was bigger first it struck
01:00on land the earthquake hit the land itself and both earthquakes were devastating one after the other
01:06not just a single destructive earthquake both of them one had the magnitude of 7.8 and the other 7
01:13.7
01:13even at that time in february 2023 during the turkey earthquake some reporters estimated the
01:20earthquake strength as 7.7.9 on the richter scale which is richter and this makes it the strongest and
01:28most powerful earthquake to fix the biggest to hit the world at least in the last 10 years anyway we
01:36will
01:36all start by watching this first clip that documents the moment the waves enter the city in
01:43indonesia we see how the waves after they recede first the sea waves pull back then they gather and
01:51strike as you saw on the screen so these are the first moments of the waves hitting and entering the
02:00city let me go to the second clip which shows the entry of these waves into flores island into the
02:09cities flores island and many of the small islands there as well by the way for those who don't know
02:17indonesia is a country made up of 17 000 islands and indonesia is one of the important tourist countries
02:26and thereby if their economy was higher than this as we have seen tourism in indonesia is on another
02:33level but it is also one of the important tourist countries because some of the islands have been
02:39well invested in for tourism there are 17 000 islands in indonesia and indonesia is the largest
02:46archipelago in the world largest group of islands in the world anyway after we have seen the number of
02:53victims so far these waters have been monitored thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes
03:01there are 1030 destroyed houses thousands of people have been evacuated because their homes were
03:07destroyed and even some because tsunami waters entered their homes and up to this moment there
03:15have been 450 or more than 450 aftershocks that have hit indonesia so far i'm talking about flores island
03:26that's it even i mentioned the second devastating earthquake that hit sumatra island with a magnitude
03:32of seven on the richter scale i haven't talked about the aftershocks yet of course we're talking about
03:38the most destructive or the strongest earthquake which had a magnitude of 7.7 on the richter scale
03:45dozens of gas stations went out of service and stopped working not only because of the destruction of
03:51these stations but also because of the power outage affecting many of them i'll keep following up with
