A bit more movement around the place now, a few have left from here and more cars going across the bridge than 1/4 hour ago.

Stay safe guys.

@gunner keep an eye out for a helium balloon that someone let go on other side of Parihaka, at first thought it was a drone, but looked through my scope and looks like a crab or dolphin heading your way!

@taniwharugby no flying dolphins spotted

A decent surge hit Tutukaka Marina about 15 minutes ago.
Seen the footage on a couple of Whangarei FB pages

@gunner I saw a clip of one about 40 mins ago, no where near the one posted earlier on the East Cape, was in the <0.5m category

Shouting "You're in trouble tsunami! You're in trouble now!" while throwing handfuls of lollies to the seagulls.

@gunner If I was you I'd be sauntering casually up to Morningside in the background there!

@taniwharugby head over with a chilly bin will you? Might as well stop at KFC on the way.

Getting hungry and thirsty up here...

And ready to fight any non-locals who come to drop in on his wave.

@gunner Maccas is busy AF

Residents spot 'unusual' tidal activity following quakes

Barbara Shortland, who lives above Jacks Bay in Russell, said her and her husband, Murphy, witnessed some "unusual" tidal activity this morning.

"When we got up at 9am this morning the tide was out, but by 9:45am it was high tide. I checked the paper and it was supposed to be high tide at 1pm."

The tide had been out "ten metres or more," said Murphy Shortland.

"It exposed the mudflats, which are all covered again now."

When the tide came back in, it didn't come as a crashing wave, said Barbara Shortland. "It came back really flat, it was very odd."

She said another "strange sight" was the large number of car ferries sitting out near Tapeka Point, which usually reside in Opua. "It's really strange to see, but at least they're far safer here than sitting in a bay."

The two are feeling "safe and well" because they're up high, alongside other Russell residents who are "out on lawns and sharing balconies," said Barbara.

"We're all okay here, no panic at all."

Have the inside word that they’re going to downgrade the warning in the next half hour....
