Gravitational waves: A new type of astronomy

AwesomeKhan

How powerful is a gravitational wave close to the source?

Imagine that there was a planet (or similar size object) close to the 2 black holes when they collided. Does anyone know how this would be affected by the gravitational waves? I'm guessing that the object would be stretched / compresses but would the magnitude be minimal or would it be observable (e.g. meters in magnitude)?
