There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The local NZ threat has been downgraded, but Civil Defence are still jittery, because the waves can still arrive many hours after the quake.
It is weird and unnatural though - the surf line in places on the east coast pulled back about 100 metres, fish flopping about - but mercifully the swell that came back was only about a metre or so.
Some of the boaties were commenting on the strength of the tidal flow though, maybe 12 knots. You could see all the muck churned up from the seabed.
Huge forces at work.
Hope the Chileans are on top of the rescue effort.
