Currently on Tour, Ari Wibowo Tells the Story of the Twin Earthquake that Hit Bengkulu

Kapanlagi.com - Today, Wednesday (19/8), twin earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.8 and 6.9 Richter scale respectively occurred almost simultaneously in the Bengkulu area and its surroundings. Of course, the incident that happened in the morning surprised the majority of the residents who were still awake.

And who would have thought that Ari Wibowo was actually in Bengkulu when the earthquake occurred. The soap opera star Tersanjung was known to be on a tour with his motorcycle club called The Dugongs.

"I was touring in Bengkulu when the earthquake hit. The shaking of the bed was so strong, I woke up from sleep," said Ari in one of his Instagram posts.

Ari and his friends were known to be staying at the Mercure Bengkulu hotel. When the earthquake occurred, he immediately rushed out of the hotel. Although the atmosphere was tense, it turned out that there were some unique stories that happened at that time.

"Forgive me, but the behavior of my Dugong friends is ridiculous. Some of them panicked and asked to go down, but when I was already wearing pants, they went back to sleep. There was another person who panicked, but before going down, they brushed their teeth, looked in the mirror, and combed their hair. It's an earthquake, not a fashion show. This is our faces at 5:30 in the morning," Ari continued.

2. Pray for Everyone's Safety

Ari provided an update about the earthquake he experienced shortly after the incident. He also prayed that there would be no more aftershocks and that everyone would be protected from harm.

"Okay, back to sleep. Hopefully, everyone else is safe. Amen. By the way, do you guys feel it in Jakarta?" concluded the 49-year-old man.
