If there was to be a tidal wave hitting in the region
it would have struck the nearest land mass 1 hour
ago (US time) As there has been no report of
tidal events from/in the area, the time window for
the same has now past.

Hi All,
I live in New Zealand and it has not caused any disruption at all.
Although it was a big quake it was very deep and some distance from here. It
has made our National TV news but has not ranked very high in the news.

Steve Quayle mentioned it last night and also mentioned something we in
the U.S. might be interested in. It had something to do with a study
that when there is a really big one THERE IS SOMETIMES ANOTHER LARGE ONE
180 DEGREES FROM IT -- STRAIGHT THROUGH THE EARTH. This would put it in
the general direction of the U.S. ? west coast?

Oh, this was PREDICTED THE DAY BEFORE by Stan Deyo. He predicted it in
the next 2 to 5 days and it came the next day! I think this may be
recorded on Steve's site http://www.stevequayle.com Seems it was about
an 8.1.

Unless the damage is bad enough that nothing is working in that region
or country. For example the Maldives highest point is 2 m (6 feet for
the metrically challenged) above sea level. That'd be a bad place to
get hit by a tsunami.

Like that old guy checking the oil level in the tail end of that

The report said it was a 'strike slip' fault which does not usually
cause large tsunamis.

Looks like you predicted it Tony.

I just hope that you don't predict an earthquake or a Tsunami hitting
Melbourne in the near future! (Fortunately our bay probably offers us some
protection from a Tsunami)

By the way would you care to guess next week's lotto results?

cheers Peter

Trust me. I'm not proud of myself on this one. sigh

I have relatives in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Fortunately they
never even noticed. The Maldive clan was wondering why folks were
SMSing them asking if they were ok. As it was Boxing day they hadn't
gone anywhere yet. The power was fine. They hadn't phoned anyone
so hadn't noticed any problems there.

They did go out later and could see some damage to some of the
buildings and stores in Mali, capital city of the Maldives. But
nothing like the deaths and mass destruction that occurred on at least
one island in the Maldives and obviously elsewhere.

One person I know in Thailand said the water stopped 10 meters short
of their hous. shudder

It could've been much, much worse for them obviously. As it is for
many thousands of others who've lost family and houses.

And I'm not buying lottery tickets for a while.

Our media, in the USA, dropped the ball, on this event. I agree with
The Drudge Report, it's almost unforgivable, the lack of initial
coverage. Darren
