interesting that there were lots of issues over the speed of which warnings were delivered for the last couple of devastating tsunamis..........
so here we are with plenty of warning.
"She'll be right mate!!"
what to do?

good to see they put the warning out when most of the population is either pissed or asleep,bugger them they wont be ready will they,you are right ,it will be right mate ,the aussie way,

very doubtful if we be affected like the pacific islands could, if it actualy hits. most of the east coast of aust has a continental shelf so the wave should break possibly several times and reform smaller each time before it breaks where the waves usually break, could still be big though, just not like one that comes from real deep into shallow water sudenly, but i suppose wait n see. yea get out u board if it arrives , some places would get waves where the swell finds it hard to reach. under bridges where the river or creek flows into the ocean. for example down inside the tweed river bar.

I waxed up my brewer and headed down the beach. Unfortunately nothing happened and my Brewer was useless in the very small surf all the dick dragger's were laughing at me !

What a fizzer!!! I was hoping Hastings Street was going to be washed away so I wouldn't have to go to work.
tar76 ·
I thought we might finally get a decent wave out the front of bribie, but nothing 😢

Looks like my beach house in the blue mountains will have to wait until next time😂😂
What a fizzer, only a 20cm "surge" 😵

This whole business of tsunamis is very serious.
There are eratic boulders of Sydney Sandstone, which came from the coastal areas, at the foot of the blue mountains.
Only a very big tsunami could have carried them there.
If a tsunami that could do that hit today, everything and everybody on the Eastern seaboard of Australia would be washed away.
A wave that is capable of carrying a coastal boulder that far would wash over the mountains and dump some of its water into the inland river systems.
Believe you me. There is geological evidence all over the world of HUGE tsunamis in Earth's past.

us aussies are real clever. Looking at the news reports, when we get a tsunami warning we all head down to the beach to check it out. People were lining the breakwalls everywhere. 🤪

Yes but huge tsunamis - 'megatsunamis' - are not caused by undersea earthquakes, especially half a world away off Chile. They are caused by volcanic eruptions, or meteor/asteroid impacts. The Krakatau eruption in 1883 made much larger tsunamis - upwards of 50m high - than the undersea Boxing Day earthquake, the second-largest earthquake ever recorded.
The only eruption that could cause megatsunamis on the Australian east coast would be a cataclysmic eruption in New Zealand, such as the one that blew out Lake Taupo around 26,000 years ago (Lake Taupo is the volcano's caldera). We should worry - Taupo historically erupts every 1,000 years or so but hasn't done anything since 1800 BC. It's overdue, and apparently the average temperatures of the waters of Lake Taupo are gradually increasing - perhaps the volcano is warming up again.
One interesting theory is that a tsunami was the basis of the Moses crossing the Red Sea story. The Santorini volcano in the Mediterranean Sea erupted in 1628 BC, one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history. It's also known as the Minoan, or Thera, eruption. It destroyed the Minoan civilisation on Thera, was recorded in Greek myths and caused low temperatures, crop failures, and spectacular sunsets in China. It also sent 100m high tsunamis across the Mediterranean, devastating the coast of Egypt. That was roughly the time of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt mentioned in the Bible. Mosus supposedly parted the sea - the tsunami would have caused the shoreline to draw back - got safely across but the following Pharaoh's army was swamped as the water returned. Just like a tsunami.

Exactly Phil74.
The pillar of fire by night and the column of smoke by day that was used by Moses to navigate the Children of Israel out of Egypt is said to have been followed. This would not be correct as it was to their North as they traveled to their North East, but it would have been a very useful navigation aid. It was of course the Thera volcano going gangbusters with smoke and ash that would have lit up the whole sky at night and would have put up a huge column of smoke by day that would have been easily seen even though it was over the horizon.
I'm one of the people who got the media to stop calling the Boxing Day Tsunami a tidal wave. I telephoned every TV station in Perth and got right up them for their irritating ignorance about the differences between tsunamis and tidal waves. I wasn't the only one who was doing that. By the second day, the TV stations were saying that they had got the message.

There is a diference between a tsunami and a tidal wave, but the average bloke in the street wouldn't know it and what difference would it make if a bloody great wall of water came roaring over the piece of land that you happened to be standing on at the time, being one of the older generation I had never heard of a tsunami till fairly recently, they were always tidal waves to me, still I'm glad you got your message across.

Without going into long and involved detail a tidal wave is caused by the moon which causes tides and they occur every 12 hours. Tidal waves or tidal bores occur in only a few places like the Bristol Channel and The Bay of Fundy were the water is channeled into a narrow space. Broome does not have a tidal wave. It comes in at a steady rate but not as a big wave because it's an open ocean beach front.
A tsunami is caused by earthquakes under or near the ocean, volcanoes blowing up and taking the whole mountain with it in a big bang and creating a caldera, under or near the ocean or meteorites hitting the ocean.
To the everyday observer the most important indicator of a tsunami about to strike is that the ocean recedes in an unusual event and then comes rushing back in as a huge wave.
That's what happened in the Boxing Day Tsunami. The ocean went out and people went out to look at the sea bed instead of doing what the elephants did and running for high ground. The elephants knew what was about to happen and took off at the run ignoring all commands to stop.
A tsunami travels across the ocean at about 600 miles per hour. It's not a wave as in water moving bodily, but it's a pressure wave. Deep ocean islands that have deep water all around do not have tsunamis. Ships on the ocean do not even notice the tsunami pressure wave going past. Ocean fronts with shelving beaches have tsunamis.
The key to it is the water goes out first and then it comes rushing back in, so if you are ever at a beach and the water goes out in an unusual way, get out of there in a big hurry. Head for the hills or climb high in a very strong building.
