A strong earthquake toppled buildings and triggered a deadly and destructive tsunami. The tsunami hit land in Palu, a city home to about 350,000 people, at a speed of 800 kph with waves of up to six metres high. Other areas along the coastline have been badly damaged and reports are still pending from the more remote areas.
