MANADO, 26 July 2007 - A strong earthquake rocked northern Sulawesi on Thursday, sending residents fleeing from their swaying homes and other buildings according to authorities and witnesses. There were no direct reports of damage or victims. The earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale, triggered a tsunami warning but this was quickly lifted after it became clear that there were no destructive waves generated during the earthquake.

In the city of Manado, in Northeastern Sulawesi, people fled from markets, hospital and schools. The earthquake struck under the Maluku Sea at a depth of over 50 kilometers according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter of the quake was more than 250 kilometers north of the island of Ternate. "We felt a strong tremor for almost a minute, people ran in panic from buildings, said George Rajaloa, a resident in Ternate. "Children are crying and their mothers are screaming, but there is no damage in my area.''
