SUMMARY:
Tsunami warning for the marine environment for NORFOLK ISLAND.

Possibility of dangerous waves, strong ocean currents and foreshore flooding
throughout the day from 08:30 am LOCAL TIME Sunday.

Sea level observations HAVE confirmed a tsunami has been generated.

doesnt seem as bad as they expected, so far, in Hawaii it was more a series of fast ebb and flow surges of water going in and out in 20 minute long wave intervals.. but i think it depends on the coasts. Better to be safe that sorry though. Theres no actual 'surf'.

Doctor,

Maybe you should insert a squid jig in your anus instead.
