********************************************************************************
DETAILS:
Tsunami waves are more powerful than the same size beach waves, with the first
wave not always the largest. First tsunami effects are expected as follows:

Coolangatta after 08:15 am (EST) Sunday
Maroochydore after 09:00 am (EST) Sunday
Brisbane after 09:15 am (EST) Sunday

Check that your neighbours have received this advice.

Boats in harbours, estuaries or shallow coastal water should return to shore.
Secure your boat and move away from the waterfront. Vessels already at sea
should stay offshore in deep water until further advised.

Do not go to the coast to watch the tsunami, as there is the possibility of
dangerous, localised flooding of the immediate foreshore.

--> och mennooo ich wollte doch unbedingt gucken gehen :-) aber Martje hat schon angedroht, sie will mich hier festketten. Unsere 2. Idee war mit Bikini und Bodyboard ab 9 Uhr auf der Straße zu stehen und zu warten wann die Welle kommt und zur Uni zu surfen - kostenlos versteht sich ;-)

Also es bleibt spannend...
