Tsunami Warning

There was an 8.6 earthquake in Samona early this morning, with predictions of a tsunami hitting Waiheke Island around... oh say about right now. There aren't any sirens or anything, so I wonder how they are keeping people off the beach. It's tempting to go down and take pictures, but I'll see if Ican observe it from our house instead.

"It may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicenter and could also be a threat to more distant coasts," the centre said.
