The Huffington Post reports The Indonesian island of Lombok was shaken by a third big earthquake in little more than a week Thursday as an official said the death toll from an earlier quake had topped 220. The strong aftershock, measured at magnitude 5.9 by the U.S. Geological Survey, caused panic and damage. It was centered in the northeast of the island and didn’t have the potential to cause a tsunami, Indonesia’s geological agency said. People ran onto roads in panic and buildings were damaged, causing more “trauma,” said the national disaster agency spokesman.
