Now you know why the people in your dream just stayed in their houses and acted like nothing happened. The quake occurred but no action was required for the people of NZ (thankfully!).
Next time this happens, please put Peter Jackson and Kiri Te Kanawa into a lifeboat on top of a mountain just to be safe.
Thankfully my dream was very different, even if it was very graphic.
So far, they think one Kiwi died, they were on holiday in Samoa when the tsunami struck. A few Aussies died there too.
Tonga was also damaged by the wave... but by far the worst hit was Samoa and American Samoa. Only about a hundred dead by current figures which considering the wave reached height of 8m (26') in places, is very small.
The quake registered all over NZ, but we didn't feel it.
These has to be one of the shit thing about living in the pacific ring of fire.
Lots of people here were panicked at first but then laughed when they were told the wave may only be a meter heigh. What they don't think about is it may only be a meter heigh, but it's also kilometres in length!
With enough power being it to fold a car in half!
It could have been much worse. :frown1:
