  1. Re:Look on the bright side on 8.8 Earthquake Near Japanese Coast · · Score: 1

    I'm okay. I have a double story house

    Last time I checked, a 20-foot wave would roll over the top of most two storey houses.

    Hence the boat. But I am in Melbourne anyway. The wave would have to do a 270 degree turn around the eastern Victorian coast, traverse the heads of Port Philip bay, charge up the Yarra to Dights Falls, then surge up the Merri creek to East Brunswick, by which time I expect it to be about one micron high.

    Bit of a problem for Taiwan and the Philippines though,

    You might be safe, but I'm in North Carlton. It could easily be 1.02 microns high here. Aaaaaargh! But not quite seriously, it was amusing hearing tv commentators listing all the countries that had "tsunami warnings". I mean _mexico_?? 'Gimme a break!'
