ORIGINAL: POST: The latest Tsunami bulletin from the JATWC & BOM at 3:11pm still warns of potential dangerous waves and strong ocean currents, however foreshore inundation is no longer expected with the 'assistance' of an outgoing tide.

Gold Coast beaches are to remain closed for the remainder of today (Sunday 28th February).

Pictures by Spencer Howson on an ABC Blog shows slight inundation of a boat ramp at Lota (east Brisbane) as a result of a slight rise in sea levels in conjunction with a high tide.
Video footage (courtesy of Hawaii News Now) shows the ocean receding and then returning due to the effect of the tsunami at Hawaii.
