COOLANGATTA, Queensland/Australia (Sunday, February 28, 2010) – A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Chile early Saturday morning, resulting in a tsunami warning for the East Coast of Australia effective today.
Event organizers, coordinating with the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, were forced to call both the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover and the Roxy Pro Gold Coast events for the day, with the potential tsunami projected to hit at 8:15am.
“We’ve been monitoring the situation with chief meteorologists throughout the night and all projections are indicating the effects to hit the Gold Coast at approximately 8:15am,” Rod Brooks, Quiksilver Pro Contest Director, said. “What those effects will be, we cannot be sure. We’ve been advised that the biggest surge could hit anywhere from six to 12 hours after the initial surge, so we’ve called competition off for the day. The event site is closed for the day, and we’ll check back tomorrow at 6:30am.” |

 Sharks suddenly more conspicuous at Hawaii's beaches
There's no clear reason for increased sightings and attack, experts say
Photo: Shark attack survivor - Todd Murashige shows the size of the shark's head, which he says was between 18 inches and 2 feet wide.
Advertiser Staff Writer
Sharks seem to be coming close to shore a lot lately.
For the past week, up to 15 large tiger sharks have lingered along five miles of the Big Island's Kohala Coast, near the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, coming within 20 yards of shore.
Several beaches have been closed on O'ahu in the past two weeks because of sightings.
And a shark attacked a surfer Tuesday at a popular Ka'a'awa surf spot called Crouching Lion.
