...magnitude earthquake shook the city of Yogyakarta, about 190 miles (300 km) to the west of Porong. Lapindo believes that the quake opened natural fractures that allowed the mud to escape.

While Anne Ames tends to overdo her portrayal of the salacious socialite Lady Utterword, she successfully represents the haughty conservatism of the old English upper class.
