A Maple Ridge family has managed to make their way to Bali after being stuck on the Indonesian island of Lombok following a 7.0 earthquake that has killed close to 100 people.

B次元官网网址淲e have made it on a very crowded boat headed to Bali,B次元官网网址� Jennifer Montgomery-Lay wrote on her Facebook blog, called Life All Over the Map.

B次元官网网址淣ever felt so grateful and yet so sad to leave paradise,B次元官网网址� she wrote.

Montgomery-Lay expected the boat ride to take about five hours and thanked everyone for sharing her familyB次元官网网址檚 story, praying for them and loving them as they make their trek home.

She asked her followers to please continue to send support to those still stuck on the island.

Montgomery-Lay started an online blog to detail the trials and tribulations the family has faced since her daughter was diagnosed with cancer.

Logan Lay was diagnosed June 3, 2005, when she was eight years old. She went through seven years of solid treatment. She did three different cycles of chemotherapy and had full brain and spine radiation, as well as multiple surgeries.

The family embarked on trip earlier this year after LoganB次元官网网址檚 doctors told the family that she was not responding to chemotherapy any more, Montgomery-Lay wrote in February.

On Aug. 4, she said the she, her husband, 14-year-old son and 21-year-old daughter are stuck in Lombok after the earthquake.

B次元官网网址淲e are safe,B次元官网网址� she said.

B次元官网网址淏ut, yes, we have been hit by a 7.0 earthquake and it was scary as hell.B次元官网网址�

A powerful earthquake flattened houses and toppled bridges on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, killing at least 98 people and shaking neighbouring Bali, as authorities said Monday that rescuers still hadnB次元官网网址檛 reached some devastated areas and the death toll would climb, according to the Canadian Press.

It was the second deadly quake in a week to hit Lombok. A July 29 quake killed 16 people and damaged hundreds of houses, some of which collapsed in Sunday eveningB次元官网网址檚 magnitude 7.0 temblor, killing those inside.

B次元官网网址淎s far as we know the epicentre was about 40-km from where we are located,B次元官网网址� Montgomery-Lay wrote of the second one.

B次元官网网址淭here was a lot of damage to our hotel, but only minor injuries (thank the dear Lord).

B次元官网网址淲e have lost power and been evacuated from our hotel.

B次元官网网址淎 tsunami warning was issued. (But there are reports it is being lifted.)

B次元官网网址淲e are still feeling aftershocks apparently there have been 16. (Now over 100.)

B次元官网网址淎t this point we are unclear what will happen next.B次元官网网址�

She said the family is shaken and upset.

B次元官网网址淣o one is leaving the gathering station B次元官网网址� yet B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淥nce it is safe, we may try to go to the airport and get on any flight we can to either Kuala Lumpur or Singapore and make our way back to Bangkok to catch our flight home. WeB次元官网网址檝e tried calling the airlines and canB次元官网网址檛 get through. We have very limited service, no Wi-fi and only one phone with data access.B次元官网网址�

Montgomery-Lay said most flights are already full.

B次元官网网址淎pparently there is damage to Bali airport as well, but all info we have is hearsay at this point.
