Riding a Tsunami - again !

27 February 2010 | Auckland New Zealand
Dietmar Petutschnig
This is the second time in 6 months that we have a tsunami warning - this time the origin is Chile a place close to my heart as I lived there for 6 years - my father is there and my sister married a chilean - Suzanne and I met there ...

The massive wave which hit the islands off the chilean mainland at 40+ feet became but a mere ripple 5000 nm later - less than 3 feet in the channel off Auckland and nothing inside the marina thusfar - lucky again.

Let's focus and see how we can help Chile rebuild all those bridges and roads and homes ...
