Posted at 12:16 talking about a wave that will hit after 12:10. Of course, if it hasn't hit by 12:16 then it's going to be after 12:10.

Stupid yanks. No offence intended, so don't go flouncing.

I'm not sure I'd fancy a wall of freezing cold water the height of Georges Santos coming at me!!

The Japanese are used to earthquakes, I'm not sure about Tsunamis. The Pacific tsunami warning system is also well established.
