Considering Cocos Islands got a whole 15cm wave...

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.

Are you scuba diving yet, Rockjet?

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!

Admin might want to change the Topic to Tsunami Warning 12/9/07 please, if Millsy doesnt mind.
