Adakah yang bisa menghubungi keluarga atau teman di daerah gempa Donggala ini? Temen kantor dari sana, dan dia gak bisa menghubungi satupun keluarga dan temannya. Kalau ada kabar dan info tolong kabari ya teman-teman. Semoga tidak ada korban jiwa https://twitter.com/DianOnno/status/1045638541416361985 …

In another part of the video, water can be seen crashing towards the Baiturrahman Mosque and the Palu Grand Mall.
Officials said that waters have receded and details of casualties haven't been released. A separate tsunami hit another city, Donggala.
Officials said houses were swept away and multiple families were reported missing. Communications in central Sulawesi were knocked out and rescue officials are having trouble reaching people. Officials expect to have more information in the coming days.
