A massive earthquake has sent locals and holidaymakers into chaos on the island of Lombok in Indonesia overnight.
At least 82 people have been confirmed dead and hundreds injured in the 7.0 earthquake which struck at 6:46pm Jakarta time.
Australian actress Teresa Palmer, her husband and their two children live tweeted the ‘scary’ situation.
She described the incident as ‘violent’ as the family’s tree-house accommodation became ‘scarily’ unstable as the quake first hit while their kids were sleeping.
‘We felt it here in Ubud and it was violent. We are staying in a tree house and it was swaying like crazy. Very scary. Stay safe everyone,’ she said.
Federal Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, who was in Bali for a terrorism meeting, told the Sydney Morning Herald the quake was ‘powerful enough to put us on the floor.
