Parts of the seabed in Kaikoura have been lifted 2 metres leaving Paua high and dry. Just as well the roads are blocked and you need a chopper to get in!!!

Probably didn't look like that 10 minutes after the photo was taken.
Some of the funny shit that you hear after the shit calms down, one of our guys was telling me, him and his missus get up, he grabs the gear they think they need and loads it in the car while the wife is waking the kids, a boy and girl about 8 and 6.
Missus: Hey kids, you need to get up we are going for a little ride in the car.
Kids: Whats happening?
Missus: Nothing much we just might go for a ride and go and see such and such.
Kids: OK, still half asleep and nice and calm.
Husband: Steaming into the room at 2am, COME ON KIDS WE NEED TO GET IN THE CAR THERE"S A TSUNAMI COMING!!!!!!!!
Kids screaming: AAAAHHHHH the giant wave is coming, we got to go, are we going to die AAAAAHHHHH.
Grumpy Wife: You dickhead.
