Tsunami warning for NZ...

[carole]

Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers, NZ was issued with this warning this morning and it could hit lower north island as early as 9.45 am, please also think of those in American Samoa, who have already been hit by an earthquake of 8.3 and the Tsunami.

We are hoping it won't hit NZ, but we have to be prepared, luckily i am well inland, but i worry for those who are not, most of my family is far enough away i think, although i have no idea just how far a tidal wave can go, as my son and sister live in Auckland, but again they are not close to the sea, so should be ok.

Anyhow it is scarey all the same, and if it happens the cost will be huge,hopefully only financially and no lives will be lost.,because of the ample pre-warning.

The weather has been bad for a few days, lots of heavy rain, thunder, lightening etc, and it is not much better today.


Thanks for listening.

I watched a National Geographic programme just yesterday on Tsunamis through the last century, it was scary. A warning is definately worth listening to! I hope this won't be too bad! The poor people who live near the cost better get their most important things together and go inland. Hope all will be safe!

Take care, Carole!

thanks, yes i feel somewhat uneasy today, it is always scarey, I don't want anyone to get hurt and the damage could be devastating to our country, just have to hope that we will get lucky, in the meantime spare some thoughts and prayers for those in American Samoa, who have already been hit by it, poor people.

Scary indeed, but be thankful that you've had plenty of warning, unlike that Christmas Day tsunami of several years ago.

Praying that the damage will be minimal and all your family is safe.
