I just saw this thread. good thing it didn't happen! It'd have to be a hell of a Tsunami to hit Aro Valley anyway... hopefully would wash away Lambton Quay and (especially) Courtenay Place first...

There was ultimately some activity that touched NZ, hit Samoa and really bad in American Samoa.

There were a total of 6 quakes that hit the area this morning. Sad.

25 mins ago the capital of Samoa, Apia, was evacuated again for fear of a another wave.

Another big earthquake:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8282670.stm

At least 75 people are dead and thousands are trapped under rubble after a strong earthquake shook the island of Sumatra, officials say.

The epicentre of the 7.6-magnitude quake was about 50km (30 miles) off the coast of the Indonesian island, near the city of Padang.
