#3 Though there was little damage, for safety reasons, citizens are being asked to boil their food for an additional hour prior to meals.

#4 That was a low blow, Moose.

But then I describe Western Australia, as being like California with English food.

#5 And now you know, Virginia, why OWG MADONNA'S MOM, aka OWG "THE WOMAN", wants to buy beachfront property in Britain despite knowing the effects of GLOBAL WARMING vv quakes + rising sea levels, etc. SHE WANTS TO SWIM IN THE ATLANTIC AND ENGLISH CHANNEL, BUT I DON'T THINK HER INTENT WAS FOR THE SEA TO BE SO CLOSE, OR SO HIGH.

MEH, WHY NOT - INDONESIAN-STYLE SEA HOUSES ON STILTS/PILLARS ON A FUTURE GUAM, SO WHY NOT FLOATING ELEVATOR HOUSES IN A FUTURE BRITAIN???

OWG-NWO FEMALE LOGIC > STILL DESIRES TO USE MALE/MAN MONEY TO BUY PROPERTY ON LAND SHE KNOWS IS GONNA SINK???

D*** NGED FIFTH ELEMENT MUUUUULLLTTTIIIIPPPASSS!

#6 Sadly, JosephM, with global cooling already started, her beachfront property will instead be a few miles inland. Much safer, though, should there be a tsunami in the Atlantic. ;-)

The planet still ringing from the quake that caused the Indonesian tsunami?

#7 TW, even a couple of miles of flat land wouldn't protect you from a big tsunami.

For a typical coastal plain it is estimated that a 10m tsunami would penetrate about 1km inland whereas a 100m tsunami would penetrate about 22km

#9 According to the Wikipedia article on the earthquake, it may have been caused by post glacial rebound - in other words, due to Global Warming!!!!!!!!
I blame George Bush for not ratifying Kyoto.
