Regarding Sydney . . .


How would a general area of Indonesia relate to the plate that Australia is sitting on?

I ask because his original call was a quake epicenter of ~88 mile SSW of Portland Oregon and another somewhere in Indonesia.



I'm no geologist but take a look see at my previous post link about the ring of fire its commonly accepted as the major plates around the world, but its possible (unlikely but possible) to get a tsunami from the northern sector, but it would have to be the southern section nearish to nz area.

It was, in fact, 9 hours off.

IMO, I would give it the benefit of the doubt on that one. lol

YMMV

Sigh. It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of Coombes.

He is a charlatan and I simply don't get how/why people give him any attention at all. Again, like before he already inserted an escape button for himself:

Mitchell Coombes What is there to fear? Nothing.
No 104hr countdown = no tsunami
6 hours ago • Like • 9


Which pretty much makes the original Facebook post ("warning") completely pointless. Just like the "prediction" he made for 25 April 2011. Just like the "prediction" he made for September/October 2011.

For those that don't know the entire "Mitchell Coombes Saga": Remember he (generally claims) that he isn't a "psychic", but that he has "inside information".

Let it be known that if he makes an accurate prediction I will publicly apologise and acknowledge that I was wrong. I just wonder how many strikes he'll get before people see him for what he is.

We're watching Mitchell. Impress us!

Yeah this prediction is a load of crud.

However, in the event that a 1000ft Tsunami is generated in CA and travells across the Pacific to the AU east coast. When it arrives the wave its self will only be about 5 - 10 meters high.

No biggie you may say. Unfortunately this is much, much worse than having a 1000ft Tsunami drop on top of you.

A 1000ft Tsunami travelling fairly slowly, will lose momentum due to its own weight and will travel only a few KM inland.

A 5 - 10 meter Tsunami travelling at close to 1600kmph, will surge up 300m mountains and over the top, will travel hundreds of KM inland where the ground is close to sea level. Even retreating to high ground would be a futile gesture during a Mega Tsunami.

I knew you would show up. Read your debunking posts.

lol

I am not persuaded one way or the other. Always good to get a second opinion though.

Australia is not the lucky country everyone thinks it is.

Yes it is true we are in the center of the Indo-Australai plate. However there are major "thrust and slip", fault lines all over the Eastern side of Australia and these can generate some really destructive quakes.

Most activity in eastern australia is due to upward thrusting movements under the plate (mountain building), which is very active today.

Places like the Latrobe Valley in Victoria (which had a 5.3 just a few weeks ago), and the Mornington Peninsula are in a very, very active mountian building phase. The Peninsula has been reaised by 10 meters over the last 100,000 years.

Also, do not forget the newcastle quake, it destroyed half the city and killed a lot of people. Australia's shallow fault lines have the potential to cause more damage than any of the continental plate lines. Because they are so close to the surface, the shockwaves of even mild quakes can have devistating concequence, although I do doubt they can generate anything stronger than a 6 - 6.5, including the faults around sydney.

Another thing... "Volcanoes"!!! Australia (and in particular Victoria and Eastern SA), have more potential eruption points than any other country (which is a very little known fact). There are over 400 extinct (some very recently), eruption points across western Vic and today there's over 40 that still have the potential to errupt att any time.

Hanging Rock, Mt Macedon, Mt Cottrell, Mount Gambier (SA), Aberfeldy (Baw Baw shire,Vic) are all dormant (not extinct, DORMANT), along with around, as I said, about 36 other potentially active volcanoes.

Luckily, most of them are Maar and Shield Volcanoes and devistation would be limited, but AU isn't the quiet place you might think, it is very active.

This attitude is fast becoming standard fare. It seems most just want to get it over and done with.

I usually lurk but I decided to reply because I tried the Word Generator. I found this coincidence amusing...
my words were, in order;
SKY > FALLING > PREACHING > SPECULATION > GHOST > PRESIDENT > SILVER > INSTRUMENT

I relate the first 4 words to the overreaction of people when they read this sort of info. (Dunno what to make of the last 4)
Though, I'm not sure what the Word Generator has to do with a Tsunami/ Earthquake...

I'm going stay calm to take a "wait and see" stance on this earthquake situation. Thanks for the news though OP!

-Peace

Again you sir are certainly well read.

AU Volcanos

However we will have to disagree one a few points (not because I'm being argumentative), it's just that having a 9.5 mag quake, especially in Sydney is just improbable.

As for the Newcastle quake all i could find is data on the 1989 jobbie, to which escapes my memory, this is probably due to the age i was at the time . The quake a few weeks ago i believe was just south-west of moe, to which my joke was referencing, i too felt that (at the time the washing machine was going, the wife and i assumed it was just out of balance and ignored it).

So yes the southern states have a record of small SHORT quakes (which from what my limited understanding of the geosciences is) are unlikely to be overly large or overly damaging and usually feature little to no aftershocks. Any chance you know more about this?

Honestly, people like this should be arrested for breach of public safety.

Nothing will happen.
