| 1326715 | 2013-02-06 03:49:00 | Just been reading about it HERE (www.nzherald.co.nz). A tsunami alert had been issued by the Pacific Warning Center in Hawaii following an 8.0 magnitude earthquake near the Solomon Islands. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management said preliminary modelling suggests waves of between 0.2 and 1 metre high would arrive in New Zealand between 6pm and 7pm tonight. |

| 1326720 | 2013-02-06 04:29:00 | This is it! :lol: "Civil Defence said the first wave may not be the largest and waves may continue for several hours. The public are asked not to go to the beach, and to share the news with families and continue to listen to the radio or monitor news sites." |

| 1326721 | 2013-02-06 04:48:00 | I see the headless chickens at TV3 running a ticker along the bottom of the screen "Tsunami Warning. head for the hills" or the like.. Think I may go for a stroll along the local beach.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1326722 | 2013-02-06 04:50:00 | I heard the Civil Defence Director speaking on ZB. Although the wave will be a metre or less there will be underwater currents involved. Tsunami's can be likened icebergs where you see only a small proportion of the ice floating on the sea. Most of the iceberg is underwater. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1326723 | 2013-02-06 04:53:00 | This time we have high tide if it amounts to anything Last time we had a low tide Tide's low on this side of Auckland. I'm not worried at all. :D |
