Tsunami

Well, we think Tsunami are things that can only happen overseas. It turns out that we could have had one here. After an 8.1 earthquake to the West of the Solomon Islands, and an accompanying tsunami resulted in at least 10 deaths in Gizo, it was feared that we fight get something similar. Thankfully, we only had raises in something like 10 cms, so in the end we weren't in any danger, unlike those guys in the Solomon islands, but it still serves to make us think that maybe we're not immune to this sort of stuff. Whether you think that these tidal waves are a result of global warming or not, perhaps it pays to be careful.
