Fortunately it was a lowish tide at the time. Not sure of the height but a very strong surge.. Ocean currents around New Zealand also strong.

I found out on the 6pm news, and I go to the beach every day regardless of weather.

We were forewarned of a possible tsunami, but the highest it got on New Zealand's coast was about 20 cm. That was on the north facing coast of the North Island. So, nope, we in NZ got away Scot free, apart from NZ tourists in Samoa who got drowned. I live on the south coast of NZ which, of course, is closer to Samoa than Cali.

Two months ago, we had a 6- earthquake and I live near the coast where there is a nuclear power station and many people are sh----g themselves because of the increase in earthquake activity. But the one we had was because of the undersea plates where the lower plate had too much pressure that it suddenly "bounced" back cvausing a voilent jolt. I know one of the tourist's killed in the Samoa tsunami. Her name is Mrs White from Raglan, I use to go to Raglan Area School.
