Residents in several populated coastal areas are being warned they could be at risk from tsunamis
more than 12 metres high.

New data revealed today shows the danger posed by a big wave in some centres has been underestimated
and official evacuation zones will have to be widened.

The small Wairarapa settlement of Lake Ferry is in one of several coastal areas exposed to a greater
tsunami risk than previously thought.

Candice Tipoki's family has lived in Lake Ferry for 160 years and they are well prepared for a tsunami.

"As long as we have the warning systems in place and as long as we follow the guidelines
and procedures that we've been given, I think everyone should be safe and be able to get out,"
Ms Tipoki said.

The new GNS Science research will force some local councils and civil defence authorities
to review their evacuation zones.

"Some of the earthquake sources around New Zealand, especially locally, can produce earthquakes
that are a bit bigger and that means the waves arriving in some places can be a bit bigger,"
Graham Leonard from GNS Science said.

This is because there is now more uncertainty about the maximum size of earthquakes
on plate boundaries, meaning some local and regional tsunamis could be larger than previously estimated.


No New Zealand coastal area is immune from tsunamis but areas that have had the maximum wave height
significantly increased include Northland; Great Barrier Island; the East Cape; Wairarapa; Auckland's
Manukau Harbour; the Coromandel (4-10m) and Bay of Plenty in the North Island. And Southland;
Fiordland; Westland and Stewart Island all have greater risk in the South.

Evacuation zones under review

The findings come from a 220 page GNS Science report commissioned by the Ministry for Civil Defence
and Emergency Management which updates a 2005 report. A tsunami generated by nearby
offshore ruptures now represents a higher threat while distant tsunami from across the Pacific are
a smaller threat than shown in 2005.

The report includes information gathered on the 2004 Indian Ocean, 2009 South Pacific
and 2011 Tohoku tsunamis. All were produced by quakes that were substantially larger
than had been considered likely at those locations.

In Auckland and Christchurch authorities are using the new data to review evacuation zones
but Wellington is up to date.

"Every 10 years you could expect somewhere in New Zealand to be hit by a tsunami
that's about a metre. But history shows that every 40 or 50 years there is what we would term
a 'dangerous tsunami'," the director of Civil Defence emergency management John Hamilton said.

Report compiler William Power, of GNS Science, said it was impossible for estimates of size
and frequency to be exact but he said underplaying the danger would be irresponsible,
as it could put people at risk.

"It is likely that at least one such event will occur in the lifetime of most New Zealanders," he said.

In the capital, scientists say an earthquake from a nearby fault line could leave residents
as little as 10 minutes to evacuate if it triggered a tsunami but some waves will take up to 18 hours
to hit if the earthquake is in a country like Chile or Japan.

The report has not upgraded the chances of a tsunami and authorities are now developing
a national smart phone app that will help residents evacuate if a wall of water does hit.

The report, Review of Tsunami Hazard in New Zealand (2013 Update), is available on the Ministry
of Civil Defence and Emergency Management website.

I hope you are not in one of those locations.

Hello Matrix,

Well, I am glad to here that TPB for the safety of their people and civilian's are taking the mentality standards of "Better safe then sorry" kind of stand. That is at least something to have in your benefit my friend.

As too when we were discussing a few posts back, and dealing with Ocean/Sea displacement, even if that were to take place, we would need the displacement of continental tectonic shift, Correct?

And if your gudbment and the GSN are monitoring these activities, where do they think these Tsunami's are originating from? I haven't went and checked the USGS for earthquake activity in Japan or Chile? Is that the real source of the tsunami's having potential of getting to the point of a Tsunami scenario Matrix?

Earthquake strikes near White Island

QuoteA magnitude 4.2 earthquake has struck near White Island, the steamy active volcano
in the eastern Bay of Plenty.

The quake at 3.45am was 5km shallow and centred between the Island and East Cape.

It is considered part of "normal" activity in the area, GNS duty seismologist Caroline Holden
told the New Zealand Herald. GeoNet described its intesity as moderate. 

Early last night another quake of magnitude 4.6 struck off Tologa Bay, north of Gisborne,
after a 6.7 at the remote Kermadec islands.

Like I have been saying...  Déjà vu

Through Remote Viewing I saw many Eruptions at about the same time the "Sink Holes" appeared in Wellington.
(Seen also through "Remote Viewing")
Mt. Ruapehu is blown to bits Eastward... over the North Island toward the East.

Very little is left of this mountain !

I also saw Mt. Tartanaki Erupt in a big way.


Through "Remote Viewing" I saw that my family and I survived....   :)

Hi 1WW,

Correct !

I am NOT looking at this from a religious angle... seeing these things have happened in the past,
all of which are just part of the workings our environment. (Planet)

It is the human species which has created religions from these ancient writings for whatever reasons.

Re. Mentioned in a Ancient Writing from "The Books of E'NOCH"

In "THE BOOK of E'NOCH" I-XXXVI in Ch. 1


Quote06.
And the high mountains shall be shaken,

And the high hills shall be made low,

And shall melt like wax before the flame,

07.
And the Earth shall wholly rent in sunder,

And all that is upon the Earth shall perish,

The Tidal waves caused by earthquake NOT experienced today just prior to the seas withdrawing
from the face of the Earth, shall spread across the Continents... The waters will be pushed over
the high mountains, even though the water is NOT deep.

The water will take out the foundations of high buildings as well as the low leaving only rubble behind.

And everything will be removed....

Much is to happen, that none understand at present, and many shall remain, after all this happens.

But this involves another part of the Story....

All of which I saw through "Remote Viewing"...

Near Cook Strait...
A Little deeper this time (hence a Moderate Earthquake) but still very shallow.

Yesterday we had more than 80 earthquakes between Christchurch In the South Island
and White Island in the bay of Plenty in the North East of the North Island.

On a daily basis we do have a lot of activity.... but mostly deeper than these.

The shallowest of the Earthquakes yesterday was near Taupo..

QuoteShallow earthquake near Taupo
Posted at 7:21am Wednesday 02nd Oct, 2013
Resident near Taupo had a shaky evening after a 2.9 magnitude earthquake hit the region.
GeoNet is reporting the quake hit about 8.57pm and was centred 15km north-east of Taupo.




QuoteA shallow earthquake hit the Taupo region about 9pm. File photo.
It had a focal depth of 8km.
Only 3 km deep recorded by GeoNet - the official source of geological hazard information for New Zealand.
QuoteSome South Islanders also had an unsettled night with a 2.8 magnitude earthquake hitting the Seddon region about 11.19pm.
GeoNet says the quake was centred 5km south-east of Seddon and had a focal depth of 23km.

A stronger earthquake, measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale, hit the Seddon region about 5.30am.
GeoNet is describing the earthquake as moderate.

History of Lake Taupo:
QuoteTaupo Volcano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taupo_Volcano

Volcano, lake, and caldera locations in the Taupo Volcanic Zone
Lake Taupo, in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, is the caldera of a large rhyolitic volcano.
This huge volcano has produced two of the world's most violent eruptions in geologically recent times.

The Taupo Volcano forms part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, a region of volcanic activity that extends
from Ruapehu in the South, through the Taupo and Rotorua regions, to White Island, in the Bay of Plenty.

Taupo began erupting about 300,000 years ago, but the main eruptions that still affect
the surrounding landscape are the Oruanui eruption, about 26,500 years ago, that is responsible
for the shape of the modern caldera, and the Taupo Eruption, about 1,800 years ago. However,
there have been many more eruptions, with about one every thousand years or so.

The Size of Lake Taupo (Crater) is 616 km².


Early History:
QuoteEarlier ignimbrite eruptions occurred further north than Taupo. Some of these were enormous,
and two eruptions around 1.25 and 1.0 million years ago were big enough to generate an ignimbrite sheet
that covered the North Island from Auckland to Napier.

While Taupo has been active for 300,000 years, explosive eruptions became more common 65,000 years ago.

I had an idea, but I don't know if it's possible to do it: gathering as much data from those shallow earthquakes and make a 3D representation of it.

I wonder if we could see something from that. :)

Something I would love to do & can... but I need to find the time to do it.

NZ is one area where both 2 Ridges and a Trench/s (One of which may be a plate fracture
are close together and in fact merge in the main divide known as the Southern Alps.

We have seismologists come from all over the world to see this area, many come from the US.

I think IF there is going to be large Earthquake I think you will find it will occur in this area,
spreading up as far north as Wellington on the northeast side of Cook Strait or even further.

If such sink holes do appear, as I saw through "Remote Viewing", they will probably be the result
of "Subsidence" in Cook Strait most likely against the Northeast face.




Regarding the Southern Alps,  seismologists have reported the system is Locked unable to move at present
and are awaiting substantial movement in the future.

Here is an official report on the Alpine ridge in the South Island...

Well worth reading and has some maps and diagrams....

http://www.orc.govt.nz/Information-and-Services/Natural-Hazards/Great-Alpine-Fault-Earthquake/
(A Gov. Website)

QuoteImmediate societal consequences from the earthquake
A sudden onset national civil defence emergency of long duration will be called.
It is to be expected that medical services and other civil defence emergency services will be overwhelmed
and severely inhibited in their rescue efforts by the scale of damage to roads and buildings.
Overseas rescue and medical assistance will be required.

QuoteHow will the next great alpine fault earthquake happen?

This earthquake will occur with no recognisable warning.

The rupture of another faultline nearby may trigger it, but we will only know this afterwards.

The alpine fault earthquake will alter tectonic stress distribution, and other fault lines may rupture
in the days or years following it.

The length of the rupture will be up to 400 km, eg. on Haast and spreading north to Ahaura.
The earthquake will last for about two minutes.

The alpine fault may rupture along part of its length, with lower magnitude, and be followed shortly
by rupture of the rest.

Two very large earthquakes or a series of large earthquakes are also realistic scenarios.

QuoteThe magnitude of the earthquake
With an expected magnitude of 8+ this will be considered a "great earthquake"
not simply a strong one.

The force will result in a horizontal earth shift of up to 8 metres, and a vertical displacement of 4 metres.

The effects will be worst in West Otago, diminishing eastward.

Significant building damage can be expected in Queenstown. Damage in other parts of Otago
will be irregularly distributed depending on the aspect and topography. Less damage should occur
in Wanaka than Queenstown, much less in Cromwell. Some minor damage will occur in Dunedin.

QuoteWhat will happen to the earth during the earthquake?
The effects will be amplified in South Island mountainous regions and high country where enormous damage
can occur to peaks and ridges. Countless landslides can be expected of all sizes.

In areas where the magnitude is plus or minus 9, many tens of millions of cubic metres of rock
and scree may collapse from slopes.

Damaging aftershocks are likely to continue for several weeks afterwards and the event will have
disastrous consequences across many regions.
Less intense shaking will continue for months. Liquefaction and widespread ground damage will occur.
