Have you ever considered that Matty F may NOT be living on the North Sea coast line?

He's fine now. He stopped smoking it just before the police raid. They found nothing.

It's as much as I can do to find something!

You can get a storm surge on any of our coasts. The North Sea is particularly prone to it as it's configuration is ideal. All you need is the right weather and tides coinciding.

But there are lots of obstacles in the way of any possible waves:

There are lots of big islands including extinct volcanoes and peninsulas, and a railway line and major roads across the water. A tsunami wave would be one inch high when it hits the shore in front of my house. P.S do you like my view?

Super view, but I can't place it.

Tautalogical. "Tsunami" *means* "wave" (strictly, "harbour wave").

They probably don't build houses on sandbanks either.

He stated he lived by the sea. Didn't you consider following the thread back?

Come on harry. Have a look at Mattys email address and see where he lives.

It seems I am not the only one to have thought of this:

If a house is permanently floating in its own trough of water, that would save it from earthquakes too. And termites, and slow the rats and mice down. If it was a big enough trough it would act as a moat and stop burglars!

You need to realise which COUNTRY he lives in...

Ahbut, if it did that, it would be called a boat....

Install an engine and the other bits you need or some sticks and cloth bits, and you can even get it back to the land after it's been swept out to sea.

Oh don't go making it easy for Harry. He must be the only person on usenet who doesn't know which country Matty lives in.
