Jakarta - Indonesia has lifted a tsunami warning after tidal waves failed to materialize following a powerful earthquake that struck off the country's north Sulawesi province early Monday. An official at Indonesia's National Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) said the tsunami warning was lifted, more than an hour after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck 138 kilometres north-west of Gorontalo in North Sulawesi at about 01:02 am Monday (1702 GMT Sunday).
"A tsunami warning was cancelled after no tidal wave took place following the quake," Subagyo, who like many Indonesians goes only by one name, said.
