Or is it just the entire East coast is now submerged.:o:eek::p:p

Turned out there was a tsunami generated but only 17cm high.

Earthquake made headlines over here obviously. 2 good aftershocks so far.

For those interested go to www.geonet.org.nz or GeoNet – Recent New Zealand Earthquakes for details of the quake. Pretty big and quite shallow at 7.8 and 12km deep.

:o... I hope not :p, i am on the east coast mind you i am 400m above sea leaval... we can see the beach from our place! (be it very small) so it would be nice to bring it cloeser :p


But in all seriousness im glad we are all ok as the news lady read "a 12cm wave" :p clearly a miss print otherwise any ants on the beach miiiiiiight be in trouble :p

Suddenly you have valueable beach front property.:twisted::twisted:
Hope it does not happen here as the house we are renting is only 80 metres from the beach.:o:eek:
