[EternalOptimist]

I wonder what the various pacific islanders plan to do?

Get the hell out is their only option.

Just seen footage on the BBC of products being knocked off shelves in a Tokyo supermarket, 240 miles from the epicentre. Who'd want to own a china shop?

Yeah, but how? They probably don't have that many aircraft, and little boats aren't going to have much of a chance. If the highest point on your island is only 5-10m above sea level you're basically fooked aren't you.

Yep, and of course those who do get out will be branded asylum seekers wherever they go and be told to piss off home.

Could it happen here?

Could an even bigger disaster strike us???

Apparently the Tsunami will hit the west coast of the US around 4-5pm GMT and NZ around 10pm GMT.

ClientCo's based on an island on the west coast

A tsunami in deep water might only be a foot high. The wave rises rapidly as the water become shallow and approaches land.

So get in a boat and head out to deep ocean water.

I wonder if Charlie Sheen is riding the tsunami on his mercury surfboard?
