Thanks for the footage, Love NZ, have not been as far as Dunedin, been to Christchurch, saw Sep 2010 quaqke, what a shame, but than the Feb one just ruined it all. Love Dunedin it is very pretty! thanks again
That's why I could never move to South Dunedin, even though it would be nice to be close to the beach, but the tsunami risk is scary! Especially since officials aren't always that great at giving you enough warning imo. The Kiwis are just too damn relaxed about their natural disaster risk, lol.
@Coolboy81 Thanks for the comment. Having seen footage from the States of the Japan tsunami, there are definitely similarities. To me it seems likely. Being a surfer, I spent most of that morning just watching the waves (thinking why wasn't I just out there getting some!!) & that set was unusually larger than any of the others on the day. I know that it doesn't matter how small the swell is, you'll always get random bigger sets, but a couple of things about this one were interesting...
@StKildaSurfer ...Firstly, the set didn't just hit one section of the beach, it hit all the way along to Lawyers Head, a streatch of a couple of km's. This doesn't generally happen unless it is a very solid, long period swell, which wasn't the case on this morning. Secondly, the timing was virtually exactly when the tsunami was predicted to hit. Coincidence, maybe, but my suspicion is, it probably isn't. Thanks again for the comment, appreciate your thoughts.
@Honas21 Interesting comment, hear where you're coming from, especially with whats going on around the world at the moment. I debated about putting this up at the time (12 months ago now - hard to believe) but I liked the footage, even if it was uneventful in the end. What I was trying to do was capture the feeling of the day. No one really knew what was going to happen & there was definitely a sense of tension in the air, which was quite surreal given how beautiful the day was...
Lovely camera work thanks. And looks like a nice place. Glad it was a bit of an anti-climax- though seems like some people would have liked to see the place flattened and the cars and property washed out to sea!
@@WGTNmarineLife nobody wants to see death, would have liked to see the tsunami. Having said that, if there was a tsunami, be nice to see the beach lined with politicians 🤙
Apparently the fault line goes out to sea at some point, so because of that reason, people were concerned it could have created a Tsunami that would have moved inland.
@WatchMusicTV yeah aye. i would usually see this in the o.d.t. maybe i didn't read it. hmm im 15 and i usually always read the paper. i knew bout that american quake but didn't hear about this
@22ness0hayden Hope you get the chance to duck back here soon :) St Clair is still just as beautiful. Not much has changed aside from a couple of new buildings & a bit more erosion to Middles. Probably have to pay a bit more for a spot in Beach Street these days though!!
....thanks for the "tsunami" video....it was very impressive.....truly it was, don't let anybody tell you different. maximum respect to you mate :) lol
As the saying goes, better to be safe than sorry, all the stupid comments on here, making fun, yes we are miles away from the epicenter, could just have arrived and could have resulted in deaths.. some people have no brains..
The waves at the end seem very likely to be the tsunami in a weakened form. They look and behave similar to the Japan tsunami waves that hit the west coast of the US this year, theirs too were weakened from the long travel across the Pacific and behaved in the same way in many areas.
It beggers beyond belief that some people continue on walking and surfing amid a Tsunami alert. A good follow up video would have been an interview with them. "For a please explain?"
@clumpft Yes, that's pretty much it, she's a dead place for real (the last council certainly hasn't helped that!), local rag each day is normally full of trivia for 'news', (though won't be tomorrow with CHCH) like recently an American trourist eating huhu grubs was the full spread pic headlines. Someone paints their windowsills it will probably feature and all.
Good to see how people in New Zealand ignore warnings just like here in Australia. Surfers of course being the worst offenders as usual. How dare mother nature get in the way of a surf session.
Gorgeous views! Nice camera work 😊
Almost has me convinced to move there permanently. Beautiful.
I never even knew we had an earthquake 😅😂
Whakatane wea u
Definitely better to be safe than sorry. That place is absolutely beautiful!
Algo pops this up in 2022. Great vid

Dunedin is such a beautiful place!
It truly was before you lot showed up, from Britain/Europe!
@@integrito3323 I'm sure it was at its most beautiful before any humans decided to stuff up the environment.

It worries me the amount of people that don't take Tsunami warnings seriously. One of these days, it is going to be a big one!
Sad but when there's a warning a lot of kiwi's have to just go see for them selves.

People are free to do what they want. They weren't putting anyone else in danger.

I live in Dunedin, great place not too big not too small! :)
Incredibly small chance of earthquakes too
Hey Nic, by all means, I love your blog. Quite funny cos I just checked your vid out too, thought it was brilliant!
great video coverage!! (loved the waxeye) nice set at 8.58 can I put a link to this video from my blog please?
That just shows how laidback NZers are. No one takes it seriously until one day its too late.
like today...
Thank God it wasn't don't want any more like the ones we had in Japan..Keep safe New Zealand.
Christopher John Lamb thanks for ur luck
3:21 of my life I'll never get back!
Did you come here for death and your were disappointed lol ?
@@WGTNmarineLife nobody wants to see death, would have liked to see the tsunami. Having said that, if there was a tsunami, be nice to see the beach lined with politicians 🤙
Nice friendly city but too cold for me only lasted a year down there, headed back up the line to sunny Nelson.😁
I understand it was a false alarm. We get those too here in Hawaii, but I don't video them and then upload them to UA-cam. :(
It was a Tsunami, just not a big one, but it was still one.
I never knew this happened in my city.
cool video, thanks for sharing
wheres the tsunami?
What a fucking anti-climax that was! jeezus, is that like the most exciting thing Dunedin has ever seen??
Apparently the fault line goes out to sea at some point, so because of that reason, people were concerned it could have created a Tsunami that would have moved inland.
Such a pretty spot
@1881cassandra Glad you liked it. All the best :)
@WatchMusicTV yeah aye. i would usually see this in the o.d.t. maybe i didn't read it. hmm im 15 and i usually always read the paper. i knew bout that american quake but didn't hear about this
Nope. No tsunami on this video.
Wish I'd seen your comment before wasting 3 minutes and 21 seconds
+Steve Em same haha
Jacob Ross i
@Ecalpon55 Thanks, I was pretty glad for the anticlimax too!

Check out my other vids mate for some idea of waves in Dunnos. Eclair was quite nice that day tho ;)
hehe... that's the hotel I stay in... right at 2:36... I love that place
Christchurch is not ruined!...in saying that i want to move to Dunedin!
Even in terror we still remain peaceful
Typical we all go down to have a look. I remember the tide going out along way in the harbour
Hi your help me?

Yeah that looks like a Tsunami Surge. Not an actual tsunami but a series of surges.
On that day I was travilling up the east coast of the south island *gulp*
Um, I Live in new zealand and since i was born (In 2005) There has'nt been one tsnunami
You must have been very young when it happened then, I'm also from NZ but not all tsunami's are large.
Also your very young to be on youtube
TheBridgeportSimmer
Well... actually I'm 13 so I'm allowed to be on UA-cam.

Brilliant !!!
All the skids lining up for a drag train in there mum Honda Odyssey on Jay Dub
@MrJai800 neither did i?

Narrator was right. It was a non-event.

Good to see how people in New Zealand ignore warnings just like here in Australia. Surfers of course being the worst offenders as usual. How dare mother nature get in the way of a surf session.
