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 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.
