martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 Huge earthquake in Samoa this morning and civil defence in NZ is warning of a tsunami on the east coast in around an hours time. Early indications are that it will be 1.5 metres high so hardly catastrophic but a warning none the less. How far up is your new house Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 You North Islanders are taking the brunt of it for us... it'll just be a trickle by the time it hits us. Seriously though... I work in radio and we've been told to get the Civil defence warning siren ready to play. Yikes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 29, 2009 Huge earthquake in Samoa this morning and civil defence in NZ is warning of a tsunami on the east coast in around an hours time. Early indications are that it will be 1.5 metres high so hardly catastrophic but a warning none the less. How far up is your new house Simon Siren went off about 8:30 this morning and I got "advised" to move inland to higher ground I can see the beach less than 100m away from upstairs and I'd say I'm roughly 1.5m above the high tide line. It seemed prudent. So I took shelter in a cafe and chucked coffees down my neck until I got bored and full and went home. What a disappointment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
