    Australia's east coast on tsunami watch
    • AAP
    • From: AAP
    • February 27, 2010 8:56PM
      • Australia's east coast has been put on tsunami watch following a major 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Chile where at least six people have been killed.
    The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC) issued a tsunami watch at 7:45pm tonight declaring a "potential tsunami threat" to New South Wales, Queensland, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island.
    "Tsunami waves have been observed on the coast of chile that may threaten Australia," the

    (BoM) said in a statement tonight.
    The BoM said tsunami waves could start affecting Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands after 8:30am tomorrow.
    NSW could be hit after 8:45am tomorrow while Queensland could be hit after 8:15am.
    Duty forecaster Jake Phillips at the BoM says the NSW coast north of Broken Bay and up to Queensland's south coast as far Double Island Pt near Brisbane could experience strong waves.

    "But at this stage we want to stress that there is no concern about land inundation," Mr Phillips told AAP.
    "But there is a marine threat and that would include anyone out boating or rock fishermen."
    The quake struck off Chile's coast at 3:34am local time (1734 AEDT) on Saturday, shaking buildings in the capital, where some have buildings collapsed.
    The epicentre of the tremor was 100 kilometres north northwest of the Chilean town of Chillan and 115 kilometres northeast of Concepcion, Chile's second-largest city, where more than 200,000 people live along the Bio Bio river.
    The US Pacific Tsunami warning centre has also issued a tsunami warning for Chile and Peru, and a tsunami watch is in place for Ecuador, Colombia, Antarctica, Panama and Costa Rica.
    Japan's meteorological agency also warned of a tsunami risk across large areas of the Pacific as US geologists said the risk extended as far as the Antarctic.
    "There is a possibility that tsunami will widely occur in the Pacific Ocean," an official for the Japanese agency said.

    i live on the beach on the gold coast.

    official warning is for within the water only. inundation of natural land is not expected.

    there may be higher inundation of water but general flooding is not expected.

    basically, dont go near the beach in case. DEFINITELY dont take a boat out on the water!!

    And you can bet just like last time, you will still find a whole bunch of silly ****s go down to the water to check it out.

    I was one of them...but I didnt really have a choice, I lived 100m from the beach at the time.

    exactly, if the kiwi's get hit hard i'll start to worry, otherwise i think it's pretty sweet to be in the water at this time.

    at the moment theres plenty of idiots in boats still out in the water & guys surfing. the tide is way up & the water's really full & calmish. kinda strange.

    either the boaties & surfers havent seen any news, or are just ****ed in the head. the tide is pretty high & i cant see a lot of the houses on the beach avoiding anything if even the slightest hint of water rises!..
    luckily, im off to brisbane this morning. inland sounds good!

    Yeah... the warning is issued to cover their asses if something does happen. Fair enough. The media jumps on anything tsunami these days though.

    Friend of mine from BOM told me that supposedly the peak of the effect from the quake already hit at 8:45am before any warnings.
