VERY disappointed that the #sydneytsunami didn't hit and I'm not sitting on waterfront views in Campbelltown as a result

Seriously though. Due to the #SydneyTsunami fail I now have to go to work tomorrow. Jesus is selfish.

Hi, I'm one of the many survivors of the 2018 #SydneyTsunami disaster.

I am now in a house in Liverpool Area that's completely flooded by water and we have nothing but electricity & our homegrown strawberries with needles inside so don't know how that got in there.
