Hope they are all ok...............
THERE are reports of a tsunami triggered by an earthquake off Indonesia's Sumatra island.
Australian Rick Hallett has told Channel 9 he was on his charter boat with guests when a two- to three-metre wall of water rolled into their bay in the Mentawai Islands.
He said it picked up one boat and swept it towards theirs which exploded.
They threw anything that floated into the water including surfboards and fenders and jumped in.
Mr Hallett said several people were carried 200 metres inland others scrambled up trees and amazingly no one was lost.
Sky News reported the tsunami was up to three metres high and hit Indonesia's southern island of Pagai, with people having to be evacuated from the scene.

I was up there last year when the last one happened, bloody scary stuff! I hope that all involved are ok.
Looks like another group of aussies on a surf charter over there is missing toohttp://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/latest/8201681/missing-surfers-father-hopeful/
They say Macaroni's got hit hard. Very sad times. Locals and tourists will probably have died. Such a remote spot, it will take time to understand the damage done.
I think Macaroni's was already for sale at USD $4.5M too.
