Had the same thing happen to
Had the same thing happen to me on two occassion, 1st one was in my apartment in burswood, working on the computer at 1-2am, with a bit of red wine in me and all the sudden the whole building started to sway...nearly piss my pants and was about to leap out of the fourth level onto a tree, but lucky it pass through. 2nd one was some time back before the first one...was in claisebrook in the labs doing my work at 2am, same shit happen. This time I knew I was safe, as the building was modern....the walls started to shake with all the shit in the lab...first time been in this type of senario.

They got my attention earlier
when there was talk about a tsunami hitting the North West Cape at 9:00pm tonight, possibly making it's way as far south as Geraldton
- Good to hear that's not the case now.

Just curious, does anyone
Just curious, does anyone know if our coastal towns are succeptible to tsunamis. The ocean floor is greatly varied in depth etc. Would Hedland / Karratha be better or worse off than say Exxy where it is very deep close to land.
