Residents of Siberut, West Sumatra left their homes for a nearby hill after an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale hit the island on Sunday.
A local non governmental activist, Darmanto, said the residents feared that a tsunami will follow the earthquake.
"We strongly felt the tremor, and then residents ran away to the hill," he said.
Four people in Padang were reportedly injured due to the earthquake, which was followed by at least two aftershocks.
