Sydney's earthquake will be magnitude 9.5, California's earthquake will be magnitude 9.6, followed by two 9.4's, all of these tsunamis will be created in the same exact hour.
Will he be correct? I hope not - i live with 50kms of Sydney and AUstralia's East Coast.
When asked how far inland these tsunamis would reach and when exactly he will give his 104 hour countdown he replied, "70 miles inland. Days..."

You my friend are a smart bunny, so happy to walk away from the tsunami comment, but i still mark it in the "unlikely" event.
My main focus really is the 9.5 mag quake in Sydney. - Mag Scale
"9.5 2.7 gigatons 11 EJ M_W Valdivia earthquake (Chile), 1960" - I mean seriously 2.78 gigtons of TNT going off, agan i do not believe this would not happen in the middle of our plate. (i'm settled on the Tsunami point you made!)

Not that they had a chance anyway
Tsunami or not

If you don't have something productive to add to a thread then 'SAY IT TO YOURSELF' ! DON'T POST IT!
I have just read through 6 pages of fodder and it hurts.(Note: Some added value)
MODS: KEEP it on topic, I've seen so many replies OFF TOPIC. You hammer other threads and not this one?
So on topic. Could we be looking at another double quake on either side of the plate?
Sort of a 'rock n roll' scenario? What goes up, must come down? rocking of the Pacific plate?

Booo below the belt mate below the belt
I see it conversely, a tsunami affecting Sydney would be the only thing to save QLD next series! Afterall, it would wipe out all the refs and with no refs to save you it would be down to 17 on 17, something QLD has little experience with!

i think i speak for most people here when i say..
CHILL OUT. No need to come in barking orders
to be honest this thread has kept on track pretty well. Besides some of us are in the impact zone of this alleged incident, so i think we're allowed to be a little light hearted.
Australian and American researchers investigating forces exerted on the Indo-Australian tectonic plate have discovered that the considerable stresses being exerted on the plate could be leading to its breaking up.
ARC Professorial Fellow, Mike Sandiford, from the University of Melbournes School of Earth Sciences was recently awarded ARC funding for research aimed at understanding the forces that drive the motion of the Earths tectonic plates and the distribution of stresses in the Earths crust that give rise to great earthquakes such as the magnitude 9 Boxing Day Sumatran quake.
Professor Sandiford says the research shows that as much as 10 per cent of the huge amounts of energy being created at plate connection points at Sumatra and Java are being transferred back into our plate and causing major stresses.
This is enough stress to contribute to mild earthquake activity in the central regions of the plate, such as in the Australian continent or central Indian Ocean, and provides us with clues as to why our plate has been slowly breaking up, he says
