How many times did the freak tides happen and where exactly? I haven't heard anything about this except here and I'm fascinated! The Kraken wakes....???

Mazzi your post is a bit vague, what exactly has been reported by the radio station please.

Thanks

If it weren't vague I wouldn't have asked if somebody knew anything about.
The thing is spooky.
Cape Talk isn't a micky mouse radio. It is the most important in the Western Cape.
What makes me think is that not only they reported the phenomenon but they also informed that the phenomenon happened in other parts of the world - meaning they received and compared data.
Now how come everything is gone and nobody talks about it? Did they put a cap on it?
I definitely exclude it could be an oax.

Haven't heard anything but an undersea earthquake or undersea landslide, even a small one, could lead to a minor tsunami, which would resemble an extra tide going out and coming back in again. If you do some checks to see if any geological services picked one up somewhere between the locations in Africa and China that allegedly reported this phenomenon that should probably allay your concerns.

the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs have a well established Kraken alert office who keep tabs on the usual warning signs as well as doing their best to allay the fears of those who mistake the signs, which as the first comment correctly identified are tidal surges associated with low pressure weather systems and tropical cyclones.

& indeed in these last 48 hours Thailand has gone on tidal surge alert for the same weather system which is bearing  http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=79938

Tidal surges can reach really high levels, which is why the east End of London is protected from the Kraken by the Thames Barrier which was paid for by hocking medieval relics nobody believes in to software milionaires who live in the Barbican centre.

In June 2008 the USA launched Jason2 a satelite which carries along with the usual military gizmos and offerings to the Gods - an array of instruments which are, as we speak or maintain our peace, measuring the levels of the sea and oceans. The "European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat)" spokesperson Mikael Rattenborg told the BBC, "There is more to the dynamics of sea level rise than just a single, global rise,"..."Although we have seen, overall, global sea level rise, there are areas that have decreased for long periods, followed by an increase....."We can only analyse the significance of regional variability of sea level rise if we have altimetry data available to us," he added. "Jason-2 will help us model and explain this evolution."....  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6922312.stm

The modern Briton is protected from tidal surges by this magical number :- 08459 881188.
where for the price of a small votive offering advice may be sought from "the Environment Agency's Floodline" who monitored the flood / Kraken rising scare of November 2007 when serfs of Norfolk and Suffolk received no less than eight severe flood warnings and told to quit their hamlets forthwith.

But all that is nothing compared to the tidal surge of 1953 in the same area, when 307 people died, when high tides and a storm saw a tidal surge of 3.2m (10ft 6in) - locals still tell stories about the tentacles to admonish their offspring. "Don't stab your neighbour the Kraken will get you".

so far the news of a tidal surge in South Africa has not hit the global fortean or weird anamoly news networks. So it might be an example of a dodgy broadcast. You can't believe everything on the wireless.

Thanks Iosaf, it might be something like this. Though, from SA to China...

"has not hit the global fortean or weird anamoly news networks"

I fookin love fortean stories and news, this one got me searching for evidence of it. fortean is like the positive of of paranoid conspiracies- it's all good fun.

CapeTalk reported today that there are still no clues about the reason of the phenomenon. The most common theory tries to explain it in terms of a submarine volcanic eruption. It seems plausible to me, but doesn't explain the entity of its geographic extension. Still I find strange that no other media are reporting it.

don't worry, something doesn't need to me mediated for it to have happened!
