Hundreds dead as quake, tsunami hit Indonesia's Sulawesi
Nearly 400 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that hit Indonesia's central Sulawesi island.
The national disaster agency put the current death toll at 384, all of them reported in the tsunami-struck city of Palu, but warned the number was likely to rise as rescue efforts continued on Saturday.
In Palu - home to around 350,000 people - partially covered bodies lay on the ground near the shore, the day after tsunami waves triggered by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake came ashore.
[...] Indonesia's meteorological and geophysics agency BMKG issued a tsunami warning after the earthquake, but lifted it 34 minutes later. The agency was widely criticised for not informing a tsunami had hit Palu on Saturday, though officials said waves had come within the time the warning was issued. The Palu area was hit by a less powerful quake earlier on Friday, which destroyed some houses, killed one person and injured at least 10 in Donggala, authorities said.

Uncle Adolf only got 6 million Jews a long time ago, Roe v Wade got over 10 million blacks so far and counting.
Just saying that a couple here and there getting overworked on a cotton plantation is supposedly evil, but google reports there were less than 4 million slaves in 1860 so abortion has certainly killed a lot more Africans than any plantation owner.
