AUSTRALIAN DUMMY SPIT TSUNAMI WARNING
For people in Australian Coastal Regions
Issued at 8:55 am WST on Thursday, Sep 13, 2007 at 06:56
A significant Dummy Spit of magnitude 10 occurred at 06.56 EST this morning in the western pacific after originating from some point on the Australian mainland.
As a consequence of the dummy landing in the ocean a massive tsunami has been generated.
People are warned that the tsunami will cause a rise in
water level. Wave height may vary dramatically depending on local effects. Given the size of the dummy that was spat out the tsunami could impact anywhere in the world.
Unusual waves and currents may affect beaches or harbours for several hours from the time of impact and low-lying coastal areas could be flooded.
There is also a Polar Bear warning. Greenpeace have taken the opportunity provided by the circling tsunami to issue Polar Bears with surfboards to so they can surf their way out of the Artic region prior to all the ice melting.
While it is unlikely they will reach Australia it is a possibility and residents are asked to remain vigilant, especially those in the vicinity of
Bundaberg Qld. Do not feed any Polar Bears encountered as it only encourages them to rely on humans. They must be allowed to assimilate to the natural environment.
FESA advises that you should move away from the foreshore.
Emergency
services are on standby.
This warning is also available through TV and Radio broadcasts; the Bureau's
website at www.dummyspit.gov.au
The Bureau and FESA would appreciate this warning being broadcast regularly.
