    Wow, that sure is a display of the power of water.
    On the plus side, my wife spoke with my Mom in Vic and they aren't expecting more than a couple of feet higher waves than usual.

    It's not only the higher than normal water with a Tsunami, it's how long the water remains that height. Normal 2 foot waves will crash on the shore and dissipate, but a tsunami wave may have another half mile of water behind it pushing.

    True, last I heard the warning was lifted though.
