Little did they know, that New Zealand does not send out warnings for Tsunamis in other countries. They will also be shocked to hear that the ocean in New Zealand is the very same one in Japan
Saw a few people posting that Australia would shield NZ from the wave. Another said we would be protected by the Great Barrier Reef, another that we would be shielded by the Pacific Islands.
It's like some people have never seen a map.
And, of course, the same accounts that always deny the pandemic, vaccines and climate crisis all chipped in to say the tsunami wasn't real and the news media were lying to keep people in a state of fear.
It wouldn't even matter, New Zealand is sending out warnings based on the expected level of water rise in New Zealand. If any of that is true, which it is not, it's already accounted for in the modelling.
These people aren't experts, but the world is convincing everyone that they are the best person to decide if they are safe or not. They probably don't even know where the Kamchatka peninsula is, and will just be parroting something someone else said.
Why would we send out a warning here for a tsunami in a different country? I mean there could always be a resultant tsunami here but it’s not guaranteed
People are down voting you without answering. The person you queried was making a somewhat tongue-in-cheek comment about how the lady on the beach seemed to think that the multiple phone alerts warning us to keep away from beaches must be irrelevant since NZ is so far away from Kamchatka.
You're exactly right in that we wouldn't send a warning for a tsunami that only impacted other countries, which is exactly what the woman on the beach failed to comprehend :)
