@breakingweather – A magnitude 8.1 #earthquake, the largest so far today, has occurred northeast of New Zealand, prompting a #tsunami threat. This includes a Tsunami Watch for Hawaii, according to the @NWS_PTWC
Updated: There was some tidal action but it appears most of the danger has passed.
Damn climate change!
…..or Covid.
Clearly it is the Russians.
I blame Trump.

This is obviously the result of Islamophobia. More guns need to be seized.
Surf’s UP?
Kiwi-Land is also known as “The Shaky Isles” for a good reason.
Time to go and have a look at what the USGS says is happening around the rest of the “Ring of Fire”.

There goes my planned vacation to the Kermadec Islands.
Jacinda will fix it!
Dr. Seuss causes earthquakes too?
Unlike that of big, bad government, the tsunami warning has been lifted for this earthquake.
could some git Bin Biden’s opinion on this,STAT!!!
After my last few sightings of Biden propped at the podium, he now reminds me of the ‘Balok’ puppet from Star Trek TOS.
John Gill, “Patterns of Force.” A comatose figurehead kept under wraps and drugged, wheeled out for scripted speeches as the real power plots its outgroups and scapegoats to cover up their incompetence, intolerance and intemperance.
Or maybe Brezhnev without the eyebrows…
Hate to say it, but do we need a natural disaster to distract lazy politicians from COVID nonsense. You know, to deal with an “actual” crisis, rather than a bureaucrat-created one?
God hates Socialist assholes and is saying: “Hey, Jacinda “F” you!!”
Despite the possible risk to the population of New Zealand and/or the surrounding islands, including Tonga~ one has to wonder at the real cause of these earthquakes; One has to wonder if there isn’t $$$ driving the increase in earthquakes in this area…

Although not one to support Greenpeace, even as a teenager, this article may give some further discussion on my post:

Seriously?
If you think anything human-made* can cause an 8.1-magnitude earthquake then you are a conspiracy theorist. (*with the possible exception of a perfectly-placed thermonuclear detonation on a scale much larger than any other bomb in history).
