Any idea in what direction ?.

Undersea is Westish

Undersea is also Southish, Eastish and a little bit to the Northish also.

[davejonesbkk]

Do they still have that Tsunami warning system on Phuket? I think I remember reading it a few years ago that it was now being used for prayer calls or something....

Undersea is also Southish, Eastish and a little bit to the Northish also.

certainly not Eastish

Westish was directed towards earthquake fault line where the last one struck

Sort of ish

as far as i remember the batteries ran out and no funds were available to replace them.

I was at Kata yesterday and there were some waves that I would think came from the quake. Surf in February is pretty rare.

you mean seri-ish?

[stevenl]

There are some waves at the moment because we have unseasonably strong winds. Nothing to do with a tsunami.

And the warning system is operational.

Its a Southpark thing.
