This could be interesting! I was planning on going for a 6am early morning surf at Noosa National Park before work...the waves might be bigger than expected! Seriously though, I'll be keeping a close watch on this and not taking any risks.

Hopefully there isn't any major loss of life or damage from this! We haven't had any Tsunami warnings on the east coast for a long time.

Cairns TV was interupted at 21.00 for this alert.

And you reckon I've got no reason to sweat. The bigger summer tides back up through the stormwater drains and flood the gutter in front of my house. Global warming and now this. I can even pick the tides by the government bus. The house will shake when the bus goes past at high tide due to the hydraulic effect in the sand but no effect is felt at the lower parts of the tide.

If you post when your in trouble, I should have about 1/2 to an hour for the lake and channels to fill so I can get out of here

8.8 is a huge earthquake and if it was centred near a population centre the results would be catastrophic.

88 dead in chile will get worse

I dare say that as the chileans don't have any oil/diamonds/or prescious metals Aid will trickle through as and when much like Haiti.
Shame that so many poor die and not too many people care.
As we are a nation that has commodities and has English as a primary language, would we be in a good position to receive International aid opossed to a third world country?
As so many third world countries have massive populations through lack of education and or faith based reproduction practices, and are reliant on scraping a living through farming in hamlets etc and to then suffer because of changes in the enviroment.
Should the world globally reap the effects of global warming and peak oil, would it be right to abandon this heart felt international assistance that Western countries always churn out (guilt for being the people that have) that eventually filters to people in need when our own country could be under duress?
This is not an enquiry that is derived by rascist sentiment, but one of practicality-would we expect our government agencies to continue to support relief efforts should we start seeing natural disasters happening at home enmass?
When would a prudent time to pull the plug on such relief efforts?
Who could be so cavalier as to suggest such a thing ?
Quite a thought provoking issue may not be suitable for this section, just thought it up on the hoof.
