Indonesians Clean Up After Deadly Quake

JAKARTA,Indonesia-Villagers on a remote Indonesian island were returning from the hills to repair homes damaged by a powerful earthquake that killed three people and injured more than 50 others, officials said Thursday.Authorities were still tallying the wreckage on Simeule,but early reports said many buildings were damaged or destroyed.At least one major bridge also collapsed, said local government official Nirda Ihsan. Wednesday's quake had a magnitude of 7.4, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and was centered under Simeule, which lies off the western coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. International agencies issued tsunami warnings, but no large waves were generated.The fault line that ruptured was the same one that produced the 2004 Asian tsunami, which killed more than 230,000 people, most of them on Sumatra, as well as a deadly quake three months later.Those two quakes also caused damage on Simeule, which is home to around 75,000 people. Ihsan said many people on the island fled to higher ground after the quake fearing a tsunami.By Thursday, most had returned, he said."Many people are cleaning up their homes and fixing damaged furniture," he said.It was not clear how the three people died. Media reports said most of the injuries occurred as people ran or jumped from swaying buildings.
