After the massive earthquake in Chile during the night we are on tsunami warning here in New Zealand. There is very thorough planning for such events and excellent evacuation procedures for the coastal communities - NZ being in the "ring of fire" the Civil Defence department are trained for such eventualities . The worst hit area is expected to be the Banks Peninsula beyond Christchurch in the South Island.
tvnz has regular updates and I'm sure we're far enough inland to be okay although the waves are expected in Auckland at 10.52 a.m. Al and Terry are off to church this morning (good plan) and I'm catching up with Jude. I'll be back to let you know how things turn out. Love and hugs xoxoxox
I heard about the earth quake this morning and couldn't believe there was another one so soon after Haiti. It must be scary waiting to see if you are going to be affected. I'm sure you'll be ok. Teresa x
ReplyDeleteHope you are safe and dry :)
ReplyDeleteWe're all safe and dry and the warning has been reduced to advisory. There have been some weird things, like harbours emptying, but none of the destruction that was feared. Phew!
ReplyDeletescary time for you though i expect. Stay safe please Jxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a good job you had commented again after the original post, or I would have been worrying - it's what mothers do!! Make sure you stay inland for a while, until even the tiniest threat has gone. xxxx
