Mobile phone footage showing a tidal wave hitting a coastal area has been circulating online after a series of strong earthquakes rocked Central Sulawesi on Friday. The footage purportedly shows a number of small restaurants near the Palu Grand Mall swept away by the wave, which some have referred to as a tsunami online. ADVERTISEMENTIt also shows the water hitting the heavily damaged Baiturrahman Mosque located next to the mall. Iksam, an official of the Central Sulawesi Museum in Palu, confirmed the event to The Jakarta Post. I just opened my watsap grup and This Tsunami seen on Palu, Sulawesi.
