• 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.

Thanks to you NZ folks for checking in. :)
We're all kinda extended family here and don't want to see any of ya getting swept away by tsunamis or coming home to collapsed houses.
 
We apparently got a warning about in the evening but everybody was to busy watching the State of Origin 3 football to bother about it....bugger it , it can till after the game.
 
Nice to know the system works.
It seems the wave was only 15cm high, as the quake was a gradual push rather than a violent explosion.
Better safe than submerged IMHO.
:applause:
