10+ foot tidal wave hits Sulawesi after earthquake

Volcano now erupting north of the tsunami area and closer to Manado / Lembeh

Volcano erupts just northwest of where quake-tsunami tragedy hit in Indonesia

Terrible. We're probably still not hearing the full toll from this event. They seemed to say that the tsunami followed close after the earthquake so warning buoys were likely irrelevant anyway.

I was diving in Donggala back in May. Managed to get in touch with the dive crew from Prince John Dive Resort in Donggala (the only dive shop in the area) and they are doing ok. Both Palu and Donggala are in really bad shape and they are in desperate need of food, supplies and fuels. Prayers to the ppl in that region. Things are quite bleak over there.

Tsunami

Not like these.

"Tsunami waves do not resemble normal undersea currents or sea waves because their wavelength is far longer.[4] Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide."

I came here for news. Thank you to posters. A reminder to recreational divers of the challenges that their dive guides and families face.
