After my last posting of a tsunami warning expected on 22 July 2009, we now see an earthquake happening in New Zealand just yesterday. Mind you, it’s quite a huge one, with a magnitude of 7.8.

This recent earthquake in New Zealand has sparked off a tsunami warning that extends to Australia which resulted in hundreds of people in Lord Howe Island, northeast of Sydney being evacuated. Read the full report here on Bloomberg.

However, according to some other news reports, this tsunami warning was later cancelled and some say it may even be a false alarm.

Whatever it is, we are not in control of such natural disasters but signs of them showing up are for real. Whether we believe these warnings to be real or fake or inaccurate, let’s all stay alert and just be cautious. Stay away from beaches!
