There is a serious Tsunami that may be a threat to low lying coastal areas following an 8.8 Richter quake just off the Russia Pacific coast North of Japan.

Do not forget the scale is Logarithmic and the original measure was at 8.0 and rising to 8.8 is an increase in energy release in excess of times 60.
A lifetime ago I was farming in the now renowned Waipara Wine District and the first five years were drought affected.

A neighbour, ex RNZAF who flew Corsairs in the Pacific suggested how much easier farming a dry was than a flood.
The drought just grows and at any time remedial action is an option while a flood can come crashing oiut of the blue sometimes overnight leaving utter destruction in its wake, to witness what has struck the north of the South Island twice recently and a third strike may have been dodged as we speak.

Be aware there is a strong likelihood for ocean surges on the way.
