#EARTHQUAKE The sky went blue as the Earthquake hit - this is known to be due to an electric charge due to the plates shifting - incredible! Wellington has suffered damage and power outages. The upper south island is reported to currently have a 2 metre tsunami currently forming - if you know anyone on the east cost of the south island, please tell them to get to higher ground now!

GeoNet's tsunami gauges show waves hitting Wellington and Kaikoura coastlines. Tsunami sirens have also now just gone off in Christchurch.
The Civil Defence advises people on the East Coast to move to higher ground - rest of NZ stay off beaches and away from the water.

The magnitude 7.5 earthquake was 15 kilometres deep. The highest level of impact from our felt reports so far has been ground shaking of Magnitude 8 on the Modified Mercalli Index (severe) this level of shaking includes people experiencing difficulty standing. Furniture and appliances shifting. Substantial damage to fragile or unsecured objects and a few weak buildings may be damaged. This level of shaking was reported via the GeoNet felt reports in the upper South Island and lower North Island.
The inital earthquake was felt widely throughout New Zealand. Currently, there are more than 15,000 Felt reports.There have already been many aftershocks recorded, the largest has a magnitude of 6.2.

All the best to you and your earthquake-shaken country.

sunami threat has been downgraded. People in green and white areas on the map can return home. Land threat remains for blue areas. #eqnz https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxKErQkUQAArm_4.jpg

Neither explanation is very comforting to be sure. :p

This thought did occur to me. But if these things depended on the outcome of Ireland-New Zealand matches, Ireland should look pretty post-apocalyptic by now.

The quake raised the seabed on the Kaikoura coastline by 1.8 metres, stranding abalone and crayfish

Cows were left stranded on isolated bits of pasture amidst landslide chaos (which bought down the sides of whole mountain ranges).
