After a 7.5 quake rocked the easter region of North Sulawesi, Indonesia has issued a Tsunami warning according to Fox News.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 7.0-magnitude quake was centered 195 miles from Manado, the northernmost city on Sulawesi island. It said it had a depth of about 20 miles beneath the ocean floor.. . . The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports that a pacific-wide tsunami that would threaten Hawaii is not expected. . . .
