Title: ...what's a tsunami? Post by: Oren on March 11, 2011, 11:19:48 AM The folks who know about earthquakes and big waves informed residents of the west coast of North America that we would probably experience some big waves about 8:00am (5:00pm GMT) Friday, coming at us from Japan. Actually called it a "tsunami warning". I work about 300 meters from the ocean, and finish my shift at 7:30am, so it could be an interesting walk home.
Don't worry, I can swim... :D :D Title: Re: ...what's a tsunami? Post by: kara on March 11, 2011, 11:51:31 AM Keep dry Oren ;)

That's some serious Lighthouse engineering to stand up to such a battering, and they don't look exactly 'new' :o Title: Re: ...what's a tsunami? Post by: NeoN on March 11, 2011, 08:40:41 PM I was so sorry when I heard about the tsunami today.
Hope tomorrow is a brighter day for all... :) Title: Re: ...what's a tsunami? Post by: Oren on March 12, 2011, 03:43:21 AM That's some serious Lighthouse engineering to stand up to such a battering, and they don't look exactly 'new' :o Brutal! :o |
