TSUNAMI to hit Australia

[Flaming_Arrow]

this reminds me of the south-east asian tsunami

[/0]

yeah it hit australia, it hit in most parts of the world actually...they aren't really hyping it , i probably am lol. cyclones only happen in the tropics, they can't sustain all the way down to Victoria, its too cold, and the latitude of it as well.

oh damn...what about a proper earth quake...not like that pussy one that happened earlier this year..that would be mad!

yes... quite... mad

[gfb]

Does this indicate something?.. All these natural disasters.. 1 after another..
Think of the answer.. it's quite clear.

Yes, it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster telling us we must repent and change our ways.

Ditto. We're all eating too much rice and not enough spaghetti. [There is no proof natural disasters are linked to human behaviour.]

That's pretty weird, Victoria is under threat as well.
I wonder what will actually happen (false alarm?)

[TrueLight]

yeah east coast of Victoria

no one really knows...maybe just higher tide or swells

'Possibility of dangerous waves, strong ocean currents and foreshore flooding
for several hours from NOW.'
