A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck in the middle of the night off the southern coast of Indonesian island Java, near the town of Yogyakarta, according to the Jakarta Globe.

The quake took place at 11:12 local time Monday night, keeping people awake and inspiring tweets.

In wake of this most recent earthquake, several Indonesian Twitter users made religious references and noted the increase in seismic activity, as a 7.3 quake hit West Java on Sept. 2.
