If you insist on resurrecting a subject every ten days or so, hey! there is no one to stop you. I have no intention on telling you how to behave. I will point out, however, that this forum cannot afford to have a moderator behaving in this fashion. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7362011n Out of concern for yourself and your cred take the time to visit your own link above and read it. Then come back and tells us whether a tsunami really occured on April 7, 2011. It will take some courage. You are starting to sound like an ex-Goanetter who would thrust links at us without reading what they say and then argue about them. The above is an audio/video link. It keeps on repeating a report of an earthquake off Japan, at sea, and a consequent tsunami warning. I still do not see a place on the link where I can READ anything that is contrary to what was reported on their audio/video. Let me also remind you that the tsunami warnings were being constantly broadcast that day, even on western TV, prior to the first tsunami waves hitting the Japanese shores. Financial markets reacted strongly to the news. Japanese stocks that trade in N. America took a beating that morning. Japanese TV later reported that the tsunami waves that were hitting Japan were one foot above 'normal' levels. Perhaps you are referring to the Himalaya Bar in Candolim, Goa where one can get really high, I hear, high and out of the way from an imaginary tsunami!!! I don't know what you have against Edgar. First you described him as someone who walks the beaches in Goa. Now you bring up the Himalaya Bar. I have no interest in where the man goes for refuge. Let me reiterate, once again, that my only interest is in (re?)stating the fact that any tsunami that originates near Japan will not effect Goa. Next stop Tsunami Bar, Monroe, Louisiana, perhaps!!! I am bewildered by the above statement. Since it is just the two of us who are interested in the subject matter of this post, I suggest we take this debate off-line. Alternatively, I will graciously offer you the last word. Mervyn1650Lobo

Ok, I know the answer to that question. Its the same individual who insists there was a tsunami on April 7, 2011 and is struggling to find any evidence about it. Ha! For the rest of Mervyn's ramble..its a poor attempt at deflecting attention from his bogus claim that there was a tsunami on April 7, 2011. The claim was first documented at: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-April/207605.html Words of wisdom from a wise Goanetter posted on April 3/11 I'd suggest that when I want to have knee-jerk reactions, I will have them before I leave the Taverna [1] Until next time and the next bogus claim.its back to one of Goa's beaches, now that temperatures have cooled a bit. - B [1] http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-April/207417.html

For sure anybody reading this exchange and you, should be scared since you continue to imagine a tsunami occurred on April 7, 2011. Out of concern for you, I googled, April 7th tsunami and got about 4,140,000 results in (0.09 seconds). Here is the very first link: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7362011n RESPONSE: Out of concern for yourself and your cred take the time to visit your own link above and read it.

You are starting to sound like an ex-Goanetter who would thrust links at us without reading what they say and then argue about them. I will try, for one last time, to explain why any tsunami that originates off the coast of Japan would be harmless to Goa. The continent called Asia acts as a barrier to the tsunami. The Himalaya's, in particular, are higher than any tsunami. They will always protect Goa from any Japanese tsunami. RESPONSE: The fact of the matter, unfortunately is, not only are you the only individual in the world who insists on a tsunami occurring on April 7, 2011, you are also the only one here who insists on drawing a connection between a tsunami in Japan and Goa. I have full faith in you.this will not be the last time. But don't let me stop you googling!! Perhaps you are referring to the Himalaya Bar in Candolim, Goa where one can get really high, I hear, high and out of the way from an imaginary tsunami!!! Lastly, I am not in the business of providing assurance. All I am willing to do is point out the reasons why something is not possible. RESPONSE: What is not possible is for you to find a way out of the pickle you have thrust yourself into. Take heedwords of wisdom from a wise Goanetter posted on April 3/11 (4 days before your imaginary tsunami hit you): I'd suggest that when I want to have knee-jerk reactions, I will have them before I leave the Taverna [1] Next stop Tsunami Bar, Monroe, Louisiana, perhaps!!! - B [1] http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-April/207417.html

Here is the very first link: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7362011n I looked at your request again and thought maybe the operational word is credible.

All I am willing to do is point out the reasons why something is not possible. I have no problems with those who are unable to grasp basic points. When the very same people are also unable to believe the assurances of the foremost scientists in Goa, it becomes very clear where the problem is. Mervyn1650Lobo --- No tsunami threat to India: NIO TEAM HERALD Largest Circulated English Daily of Goa - Saturday, April 9, 2011 PANJIM: “There is no tsunami threat to India and the Goan and Konkan coastline from the earthquake in Japan as there are significant numbers of land mass above the sea that break these waves and do not allow it to propagate far” says Dr. Satish Shetye, Director, National Institute of Oceanography.

B) A tsunami that originates off the coast of Japan will never effect Goa. The land mass called Asia prevents any Japanese tsunami from doing so. This is not difficult to understand. It is only difficult for some to accept. C) The foremost authority of the Indian Ocean is based just a few meters from the beaches in Goa. They clearly stated that the March tsunami would not effect Goa. I can only observe in amazement when you chose to ignore the NIO scientist and, instead, put your faith in an individual who walks the beaches.

Bosco D wrote: What next Mervyn? If a Goan resident says that it rained in Panaji should we expect you to point to the meteorologist's forecast of no rain?? Bosco, I don't know why you are trying to extrapolate here. Lets keep this simple, in line with subject mater above. Edgar said: Never mind what that organization in Dona Polo says about the no-effects of the tsunami on coastal Goa... there is a noticeable rise in water levels...Hollant or Butterfly beach is topped up this evening Edgar can, and does write, whatever he pleases on Goanet. All I can do is point out that the tsunami could not effect the water levels in Goa as the land mass called Asia prevents the tsunami from reaching Goa. In fact, if anything you should be thanking me for providing this info as a public service. There is a big difference between what one persons naked eye perceives and what science determines, accurately, when using the appropriate instruments. Bosco wrote: I'm surprised that you will attempt to deny a poster in Goa to post his observations from the beach who unlike you and me are at our keyboards 8000+kms away. Bosco, it is 8.30 pm as I write. There is a disconnect in the information flow in Japan because of the earthquake. I am currently making use of this disconnect to make money on the Tokyo markets. I am in Toronto, 6,500 miles away from Tokyo and am better informed than some Japanese. This is why I replied to Edgar, trying to reassure him and other scared individuals that the Japanese tsunami will not effect the Goan coast. It seems that the Indian Institute of Oceanography, just a hop, step and jump away from him, tried to reassure him of the same and failed. Lastly, there always will be people who are so unsure of science that they will go out of their way to try and prove science wrong. Some people will head TOWARDS the shoreline, as spectators, when told that there is a storm or a tsunami approaching. I feel that even these people deserve some education and not removal from the DNA pool. Hope this helps. Mervyn1400Lobo

Re: [Goanet] Tsunami- the seas off Goa coast
Never mind Bosco. There is a lot on the G-net one likes to ignore. Last evening at the mouth of the Baga river, the water levels were like the monsoons...the water level up to the shacks. In fact there was a crowd watching on (locals). There are a few things Goans living in the costal areas knowis the sea and its unpredictable behaviour.
