> What area?

Invercargill is New Zealand’s southernmost large town. It’s right at the bottom of the South Island on the East Coast.

This happened 100 km west of that, so any waves will be smacking into Fiordland (largely uninhabited deep fiords) and up the West Coast. Next major population would be Nelson, up at the top of the South Island, then Wellington on the Cook Straight.

(Wellington might be in for a rough time if there are Tsunami as the Wellington Harbor is susceptible to seiching. That’s when water swirls round-and-round-and-round a bay toilet-bowl style, picking up debris and momentum each time it goes ‘round.)

I shall be watching with interest...

Bad day to go fishing out there I guess. :) Hopefully its going to actualize in non populated areas.
