Indy Magnoli - Earthquake?

[Spatterdash]

Heads up.

Apparently, New Zealand was hit by a 7.8 earthquake today. Does anyone know if our own Indy Magnoli of MagnoliClothiers.com is okay?

i would call him but phone lines are probally down.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

do you have a time that the quake hit?

just did some quick cross-referencing, & mr. magnoli is located in the bottom third of the north island, north of the capital wellington. chances are good that he is shaken, but otherwise fine. i did shoot him an email checking up on him.

I read that a tsunami warning issued for NZ has been cancelled.

Here's wishing all of our kiwi colleagues the best...

Seconded.

The Napier earthquake of 1931 probably effected him more.
He's a safe distance away, unless he's holidaying somewhere
down in the deep south.

Thanks for the concern! To be honest, I didn't even realize there was an earthquake until I received an e-mail from someone this morning. I asked my wife about it and she felt it last night (she was in bed reading), but I was running around the house doing a few things, so didn't even notice it!

Thanks again!

[OffTopic] Wow, I had no idea you were a New Zealander Indy, though I did think it was strange there was a NZ phone number on your website lol

Really cool that your based locally, I'll definitely be placing an order with you in the near future! [/OffTopic]

Lucky the earthquake was centered where it was, it was the same strength as the 1931 Napier quake. If it had happened in a densely populated area like Wellington it would have been catastrophic. Thankfully this one occurred in a fairly isolated part of the country.

I'd be willing to be all that information would be on the news reports on that Internet thingie that Al Gore invented...

But glad to hear that the earthquake wasn't hear Indy, and all's probably [HOPEFULLY!] well.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

I believe the quake was around 9:45pm NZ time (which would be 2:45am Pacific time).

By the way, I am an American, my wife is a Kiwi, but I've put down some pretty deep roots here, so I'm not moving.

Kind regards,
Indy

Glad you are safe. Here the authorities are congratulating themselves on how well the advance warning system worked. This is a hot topic right now given the recent fires.

No public warning on TV, radio or SMS, although I heard that the government radio station mentioned it in news reports. I understand some people on Lord Howe Island were avacuated to higher gound.

Perhaps the warning is escalated to the public if it develops into a full blown Tsunami.

Glad I'm on high ground
