The only area under a tsunami warning is New Zealand.

Quake occured nowhere near a full or new moon. Just pointing that out because the Berkland nutters won’t.

What area?

Certainly the east coast of Australia and,likely,other parts of the South Pacific.

> What area?

Invercargill is New Zealand’s southernmost large town. It’s right at the bottom of the South Island on the East Coast.

This happened 100 km west of that, so any waves will be smacking into Fiordland (largely uninhabited deep fiords) and up the West Coast. Next major population would be Nelson, up at the top of the South Island, then Wellington on the Cook Straight.

(Wellington might be in for a rough time if there are Tsunami as the Wellington Harbor is susceptible to seiching. That’s when water swirls round-and-round-and-round a bay toilet-bowl style, picking up debris and momentum each time it goes ‘round.)

I shall be watching with interest...
