1215225 2011-07-06 21:23:00 Yea, I personally didn't feel it though some people did...

We have a Tsunami warning (www.stuff.co.nz) though.

Up to an entire meter high! :stare:

Meh, the force behind the water as opposed to the height of the wave is more concerning... but really.. a tsunami warning for this? :rolleyes:

I applied for a job down on Campbell Island just after 1984 and it was right at the time when all the cuts were coming in and the numbers manning it were reduced from 11 to 8 so I missed out. The pay wasn't that great but you had nothing to spend it on so it was basically all money in the bank.
I thought they may have been reduced to zero now.
