RobBright 35 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 There wa an article in the paper my wife saw saying that throughout hstory after a big Tohoku quake like the one we had last year always within 10 years Fuji blows her top and this has happened 100% of the time. So if thats the case then we have at most 9 years before this happens. Someone make a pie crust to divert away the flow... Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Do they have all the warnings and popups on tv before/during/after a quake in Aussie? Australia is busy rebuilding right now, KlingKlang.

surfarthur 22 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Do they have all the warnings and popups on tv before/during/after a quake in Aussie? Australia is busy rebuilding right now, KlingKlang. I'm sure one of the workers will get back once that has been complete. The rebuilding effort is almost complete... I mean the safety paperwork to put that chair back upright has almost been approved... watch this space. And to answer the original question, I am pretty sure there aren't the warnings on TV like you guys over there get. Link to post Share on other sites

surfarthur 22 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 From the NZ herald: A large earthquake has been felt across the North and South Islands tonight.The 7.0 magnitude quake was centred 60 km south-west of Opunake at a depth of 230 kilometres, GNS Science said. The earthquake was felt across the North Island from Taranaki to Bay of Plenty, down to Wellington and as far south as Canterbury. The earthquake was heavily felt in Wellington city where many residents took to social media sites to report of a long, rumbling quake. The Wellington Region Emergency Management Office has said there is no tsunami threat from tonight's earthquake. A Fire Service spokesman said there had been no reports of significant damage yet. "It is at a depth of 257 kms [the initial depth given by GNS], which means we are pretty lucky at the moment." A small aftershock of magnitude 3.8 struck 15 km east of Christchurch just after 11pm.
