The Sydney tsunami that didn’t happen caused a wave of jokes – the 21 funniest
Whether it was a genuinely believed prediction or a device to get people thinking about mortality and salvation, a Christian group in Australia made this poster.
Surprisingly – or not – the tsunami didn’t happen and we may now have to reassess whether to believe things shouted at us by evangelists in the street.
Someone spotted it and shared the warning on Twitter.

Of course, Sydney took it extremely seriously, as you can see from these 21 responses.
For some, the prediction made them reconsider their plans.

12 minutes to #sydneytsunami apocalypse.
I suppose I should get my affairs in order.
Um… is a last will and testament on Twitter legally valid?

So apparently if we don’t repent, there will be a tsunami in Sydney at 9pm. I had better not put any washing on the line then #sydneytsunami

When the tsunami didn’t hit, there were mixed reactions.

Looks like the #SydneyTsunami is running late and out of timetable order.

Maybe the #sydneytsunami is just like the Nation's internet and is still buffering…

The #sydneyTsunami was a bit of a no-show. Melbourne can certainly do it better tomorrow night. pic.twitter.com/tTYExTScHX
