Indonesia tsunami toll 231, hunt on for more
By Heru Asprihanto
PANGANDARAN, Indonesia (Reuters) - At least 230 people were killed after a tsunami smashed into fishing villages and resorts on Indonesia's Java island, following a strong undersea earthquake, rescue officials said on Tuesday.
No warnings were reported despite regional efforts to establish early warning systems after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 230,000, including 170,000 in Indonesia.

Unfortunately, the "powers that be" inc. the UN are said to have had problems in getting that
"early-warning" system in place.
