Kermadec Earthquake- Tsunami warning
-
Pretty surreal, tsunami sirens going off, streams of people evacuating Whangarei central.
When I got the alert I thought it was a L4 Covid one!

It is currently about half tide (incoming) so that will help, havent heard anything yet about water draining out further than usual.

Is quite eery, just the unknown.
Surge meant to get here about now, no sign of significant movement of water in the basin.

King tides at the moment too - won’t help.
I tried to get out of town to go home but the roads were absolute chaos, gridlocked everywhere.
Currently at OBM footy club watching for the water in the Hatea river to be sucked out..... then we know we’ll be in for some action.
Crazy times

@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?
