Storm unlikely to materialize

YOGYAKARTA: Although the threatened storm along the south coast of Yogyakarta had not materialized as of Friday, the government has warned local residents to remain vigilant.

Yogyakarta Governor/Sultan Hamengkubuwono X said the government would evaluate on Sunday whether the south coast was still at risk.

The Yogyakarta government earlier announced that a storm would hit Yogyakarta's south coast between Feb. 8 and Feb. 13 when a tropical storm appeared to be heading in Yogyakarta's direction. The storm apparently dispersed before reaching Yogyakarta. -- JP
