Tsunami warning for New Zealand ***UPDATE - Tsunami activity cancelled***

[Electromagnetic]

My brother and his family live in Henderson a suburb of Auckland. I have tried to Messenger him but nothing.

Hearing that Auckland has a beach threat but the town itself does not. Basically stay out of the water and stay off the beach.

Tolaga Bay - witness says high tide seemed like low tide

ISTR a rule of thumb that it will rise at least as far as it drops beforehand. That seems consistent with a 3 meter wave.

RNZ update: GNS Science say the biggest waves have passed and so the threat has been downgraded.
Those who have evacuated may return home but are advised to stay out of the water and off the beach.

Seems to be good news.

The downside is that next time people might be tempted to take risks, expecting that they'll get off lightly again.

We call those people: Drowned.

A few surfers ignored the warnings as they thought they knew better.

US Geological data and an article about Thursday's earthquakes.

For those interested this is a list of the earthquakes off of New Zealand 4th March 2021. This was produced using an earthquake csv file downloaded from US Geological Survey. Click to enlarge. Sorry it's not very clear but perhaps it gives some idea of the activity.

​

Here is a link to the USGS article which addresses the three main earthquakes.
