Wow! Magnitude 7.8 earthquake off the coast of NZ. Tsunami warnings were put out and what happened - absolutely nothing. I am so sick of those tsunami alarmists! Tsunami this, tsunami that. Worst of all, other than boxing day tsunami, the numbers of actual tsunami's have dropped. One bad event and suddenly everybody is on the bandwagon......

They reckon that the data collected from this event will go to building a better model so alerts can be tailored better,,,,and they call themselves scientists. Those models need to be perfect! What is the point of getting people to take evasive action when they are not in any danger whatsoever. A waste of energy and money.
