I live in the blue region, about 200metres from the beach. House could become beachfront if the waves were strong enough.:lol

Speaking of natural disasters, what's it like where you live?

I never noticed your Aussie flag before. G'day.

I looked up the bom but the site has crashed. Where are you from? My mother lives in Bateman's Bay, but up on a hillside so she could be okay. It'll be interesting to see how powerful this is when it hits Australia.

I live in Batemans Bay:lol

I don't think it'll be powerful, most surfers I know wish it would hit in the day but.

Thanks.

I think it has passed already with no reports of damage.

:)

Actually, scratch that it'll probably take a few hours to get here, depending on how quickly it's traveling, which depends on the depth of the water it is traveling through:

I'm guessing it will get here some time in the next hour or two.
