I used to have one of those a long time age. I could fit a small double bed matress in the back.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Updated at 5:56 a.m. ET: Hawaii was hit by a tsunami on Saturday night after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Canada's British Columbia, prompting the authorities to order at least 100,000 people on the island state to move to higher ground.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the first tsunami wave was three feet high and less forceful than expected. Some forecasts had predicted a wave of up to six feet high.

I'd guess the average windy day produces higher tides. :relax:

Yep, and Ian will probably be getting some of that in a day or two. I hope he's amused. :coffee:
