A 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia in the early hours of the morning, shaking locals and tourists awake in a bit of a fright.
The earthquake began in the Bali Sea at a depth of 515km below the earth’s surface. It occurred around 3.55am local time (5.55am AEST) and it wasn’t long before people on shore began waking up to the earth moving around them.
It was later declared to be a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on the Richter Magnitude Scale, which measures the energy output of the shake.
