It didnt.

Was a farce.

Nothing happened.

Although now there is going to be a rather large enquiry as to why NZ Civil Defence stayed in bed and took no notice of the warning.

Apparently the first thing our Govt knew about it was when a TV station phoned them and asked for comment...

Geesshh. Luckily, the Tsunami never made it very far.
