I don't think that it took any damage.

Cool - thanks man. I figured New Guinea would block it but I don't know much about it.

I appreciate the feedback!

Heard the same on Fox News just a second ago.

Wow.

I'm guessing (hoping) that number is about as useful as when the woman said last night after more than an hour of this stuff that there was 1 confirmed death. With everyone evacuating in a difficult situation in which to communicate, I would expect a lot of people to go missing for a while.

Yeah. Pure speculation, I'd assume, at this point.

Yeah, I'd like to do a little media study at some point to see how the reported numbers change over time in a major disaster. It seems like they always start small, mushroom quickly into a large number, and then drop back down as everything settles down. I think on 9/11 there were discussions of 50,000 people, and then it immediately dropped to around 10,000 and hung there for a while, and then fell from there to the final number over the next couple of weeks. My numbers may not be right, but that's how I remember it.

Phones are down. I just hear on Foxnews that all cellular networks are down.

Beautiful area of Australia. Some of my wife's "rellies" live there and at Balgal Beach (which is a little north). The wife and I hiked the Thorsborne Trail on Hinchinbrook Island together prior to getting married.

Yeah, that's what I hear. I've never made it over. Hope to someday.

More reports of damage coming from the Cali-Oregon coast. No link. Just repeating what is said on Foxnews.
