Kermadec Earthquake- Tsunami warning

@machpants placebo effect!
Couple of the ladies at work adamant the basin had dropped hugely in short time and then risen again.
I'd used my scope and picked a spot I was gonna stand and look at, and was pretty much consistent with the tide rising possibly a bit quicker than normal.
Are pics and clips of some surges and strange tidal movements or currents but mostly uneventful

@booboo @Machpants come on the cricket has started, I didn’t have time to check out ALL of the conspiracy theorists internet chat forums, I knew you guys would pick up the slack though.
What cricket?

Well that was all a bit of an anticlimax, but I'm glad you are all safe and dry!

@machpants if you watched that not knowing it was for a tidal surge, you'd just think that's a cool clip of the tide coming in, in an estuary, probably wouldn't even notice the surges (around 1.20)

I still didn't notice - but fuck me that's a beautiful spot

@voodoo around 1.10-1.30 you see the water almost drain out completely then come right in a few times, which doesnt usually happen.
But she is a great spot alright, further round to the left up the estuary there is a bridge that is great for doing bombs and manus!

@taniwharugby And just over the way is Mermaid Pools, beautiful but with a rahui on them because they’ve been trashed after thousands of tourists came with internet fame. A little further round is pebbly beach, one of the best just walk in snorkelling spots to take the kids, a load of fish and rays. then there’s Whale Bay, Sandy’s etc etc.
