Considering Cocos Islands got a whole 15cm wave...
ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS
WITHIN THE WARNING AND WATCH AREAS ARE GIVEN BELOW. ACTUAL
ARRIVAL TIMES MAY DIFFER AND THE INITIAL WAVE MAY NOT BE THE

Was in Geraldton when the 'big one' hit. Town Beach carpark underwater and lots of erosion damage along the beaches north of town. Was certainly a talking point, and a big clean-up for the local authorities.

Nah bit dry up here, looks like SES took it pretty serious but. Police were more worried about a domestic in Spalding, I guess they will take an interest when the water is lapping at there desks.

Well done Emergency Services Gero, you win the "On the Ball" chuppa chup!
