However, SWMBO has another theory - the buyers may have come out from ChCh because there was no power to many of the service stations in the city. 50km round trip to get a tank of gas? |

I think I can tell you why I thought of a Tsunami right away. Youse guys live on an island nation and naturally (to me, maybe not youse guys) water and earthquakes are running hand-in-hand as somewhat primary creators of Tsunamis. Just concerned if I should be making CARE packages with cases of Cherry Kool-Aid for shipping when you get your water back and can make ice cubes again. I can also send paper cups in case all youse guys glassware is destructo'd. I await your request, as usual, your servant. |

| 1134451 | 2010-09-06 04:13:00 | Fair enough Joe Generally the tsunami will be going away from the quake.....People should have been filling up in Dunedin or Wellington, or Chatham Islands |

This one was quite a few kilometres inland (that is 'quite a few gallons' in US measurement). |

Yeah - but then again, in Upsidedown Land, physical laws and the Time/Space Continuum are all backwards and even Steven Hawking said youse guys was exempt of them. |

Dont forget here in upside-down land, we are also in the future, so the space time continuum is out of wack. |
