Kermadec Earthquake- Tsunami warning
-
@gunner first surge meant to be here now, I been watching the water in the basin and havent noticed a hig change (although my eyesight aint great)
Although if a king tide, woulda been extra low too usually? High tide about 2pm
-
@taniwharugby heard reports that a lot of water had been sucked out of Parua Bay... how accurate that is I couldn’t say.
-
Jesus, stay safe guys!!
-
@jc yeah things moving much slower than anticipated...nothing going on in Basin at present.
Ladies at work reckoned level rose pretty quickly, but I've not seen a change for 30 mins, deadly still and yacht masts not moving at all, which you'd expect with fast movign water.
-
@taniwharugby aren't you going to evacuate?

Noooooo... Safety is for wimps.
-
@r-l nah we are probably >40m above sea level at the top of a Harbour that the water needs to travel west then turn north to come up to us, plus up on 2nd floor of a brand new building.
Expecting some low level water inundation (hoping it doesnt happen)

...said the guy in the disaster movie right before the disaster part happened!
Seriously, stay safe up there buddy. No sightseeing trips to Pataua!

I felt the 7.1 East Cape one at 2:30 this morning, in Wellington. Just happened to be awake. Heard the rumbling coming for ages before it hit.
My daughter has a black eye this morning. Had a small picture in frame on her bed head, fell off and sconed her in the night. Let that be a lesson to her ...
-
@taniwharugby ah man, my anxiety levels are up just reading about it online.
-
@stargazer was one comment on Stuff earlier advising all people under 300m evacuated from Whangarei...we have a mountain overlooking Whangarei, which is 241m...

@jc one of the ladies at work spent nearly an hour trying to convince her dad to leave his house at sea level in Waikaraka!
Sounds like a Grumpy Old Man. Sure he's not a Ferner?

That 40m that you are above sea level really O.K? It would be quite some wave, but...
