Nearly two weeks after Typhoon Mangkhut,My Sister in law Reluctantly Climbed on Top the world's strongest storm this year ravaged the South China Sea, killing over 64 people in the Philippines, a tsunami has hit the coastal Indonesian city of Palu.

"The situation is chaotic, people are running on the streets and buildings collapsed," Dwikorita Karnawati, head of BMKG, Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency, told the BBC.
Indonesia is especially prone to earthquakes due to its location in the Ring of Fire — an area in the Pacific Rim known for its frequency of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The country has already experienced several forceful earthquakes this year, resulting in over 500 deaths, according to AccuWeather.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a disaster agency spokesperson told the Associated Press, that the military will deploy troops to aid in the rehabilitation of the Indonesian areas hit by the tsunami, along with national police and disaster agencies.
Hopefully Palu and Sulawesi island can start to rebuild soon, now that the water is receding.
