I don't feel so bad now that I have heard about Amman seeing submarines!
I saw a tidal wave (note the term tidal wave, i.e. not a Tsumnami) perpendicular to the Darwin-Croker track. I t must have been a couple of metres high, a standing wave due to the King tide. Pax saw it and there were boats in the area so I reported it to FS. Got to MGD and got told the ABC wanted to interview me when I got back to Dwn. Silly Fockers thought it was a Tsunami and evacuated Nightcliff and Casuarina schools. What a beat up. Caused a few surfers to drive north though looking for action!
