A pair of moderate earthquakes rocked an eastern Indonesian town early Monday, damaging buildings and causing panicked residents to flee their homes, officials and witnesses said. Several people hurt themselves trying to run outdoors. The temblors with preliminary magnitudes of 4.5 and 4.9 struck Situbondo, 800 kilometers (600 miles) east of Jakarta, said Suhardjono, a meteorologist at the government's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency. «We have reports there was damage because the tremor's epicenter is so shallow at about 10 kilometers (6 miles) beneath the earth,» Suhardjono was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
