Re: Earthquake in Sumatra
Just been reading this on sky news, not good.
Hope it doesn;t hit hear again after the last one the beach is a different shape and it could come right into my garden/house.
Obviously I hope it doesn't kill anyone either

Re: Earthquake in Sumatra
Made me feel a little sick at the thought of what can happen, the wierd thing is that the last one was Boxing day and today is Easter Monday.
Maybe someone bigger is trying to tell us something :scared: .
Conflicting reports on Sky News over here, fingers crossed for good news.
They don't need this again.

3 hrs has just passed, hopefully the tsunami is a false alarm so fingers crossed that the earthquake didn't harm anyone.
so strange, 2 night I can hear the ocean more than usual must just be because I am expecting to hear it

Re: Earthquake in Sumatra
Last I heard was 300 dead.
Nu tsunami, but wierd waves are expected to hit WA coast today. People have been warned to be careful, and there'll be weird tides etc.
