PACIFIC TSUNAMI ALERT

[womble]

Old Crazy's flapping his arms and giggling ... every now and then he slaps his thigh ... howls at the sky and says ... fizzle fizzle pop pop fizzle ... oh well.

The number of people hanging around at the beach ... waiting for it to hit ... was amusing to say the least. I even spied one couple pointing out to sea at the approaching (and imaginary) wall of death.

me & a mate were standing on the beach @ 7.30 trying to decide, head out or not [ 4-5' glassy A frames, the surf was winning at that stage ] another guy rocks up told us .2m in Nu Zullund..... couldn't get out there fast enough. Then i started to think about the poor bastards in chilli took the shine off a bit. Been a volatile few years in the Pacific

You got that right AB.

We all laugh about it, but ... since Boxing Day 2004 everyone living on a coastline has had good reason to feel twitchy every time one of these things goes off. I'll never forget watching the breaking news that morning, thinking about the possible implications for the region where it was happening and then seeing it all unfold like a bad dream.

I bet I'm not the only one who's just grateful we didn't have to face that kind of catastrophe this morning.

everyone here just stocking up.........water, toilet paper, rice, beer, soda, more beer. hopefully the power will stay on.
will head down for pics in a while

We had big lines here and everyone freaking out. But its not a hurricane, its a tsunami = one day event. Howeva, you can never have too much beer, spam, rice and water which is why you need the stock of toilet paper!!

It was a good excerise for us, and to stay ready. Glad it was a small day for a change here. Swell on its way to 15-20 foot.

Just wanna say thanks to all the boyz worldwide keeping the info comming, better than the news anyday. Mucho Mahalos and aloha.-s
