    That's why I could never move to South Dunedin, even though it would be nice to be close to the beach, but the tsunami risk is scary! Especially since officials aren't always that great at giving you enough warning imo. The Kiwis are just too damn relaxed about their natural disaster risk, lol.

    @Coolboy81 Thanks for the comment. Having seen footage from the States of the Japan tsunami, there are definitely similarities. To me it seems likely. Being a surfer, I spent most of that morning just watching the waves (thinking why wasn't I just out there getting some!!) & that set was unusually larger than any of the others on the day. I know that it doesn't matter how small the swell is, you'll always get random bigger sets, but a couple of things about this one were interesting...

  • @Ecalpon55
    @Ecalpon55 13 лет назад +1

    Lovely camera work thanks. And looks like a nice place. Glad it was a bit of an anti-climax- though seems like some people would have liked to see the place flattened and the cars and property washed out to sea!

  • @StKildaSurfer
    @StKildaSurfer  13 лет назад

    @StKildaSurfer ...Firstly, the set didn't just hit one section of the beach, it hit all the way along to Lawyers Head, a streatch of a couple of km's. This doesn't generally happen unless it is a very solid, long period swell, which wasn't the case on this morning. Secondly, the timing was virtually exactly when the tsunami was predicted to hit. Coincidence, maybe, but my suspicion is, it probably isn't.
    Thanks again for the comment, appreciate your thoughts.

    Apparently the fault line goes out to sea at some point, so because of that reason, people were concerned it could have created a Tsunami that would have moved inland.

    @Honas21 Interesting comment, hear where you're coming from, especially with whats going on around the world at the moment. I debated about putting this up at the time (12 months ago now - hard to believe) but I liked the footage, even if it was uneventful in the end. What I was trying to do was capture the feeling of the day. No one really knew what was going to happen & there was definitely a sense of tension in the air, which was quite surreal given how beautiful the day was...

    The waves at the end seem very likely to be the tsunami in a weakened form. They look and behave similar to the Japan tsunami waves that hit the west coast of the US this year, theirs too were weakened from the long travel across the Pacific and behaved in the same way in many areas.
