I knew a family who had to stay overnight on the mainland before transferring to an island, due to the weather, but I didn't know the name of the cyclone.

Leigh Last night the automatic tsunami warning sirens went off at 9 pm in the Bay of Plenty and continued for 15 minutes. Because of the continuous siren many people evacuated to higher ground . The swells had been much higher due to the cyclone so I would not be surprised that that may have been the cause ......but no one has said anything yet.

possum52 Posted January 20, 2020 #15 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Possibly the warning sirens are set too finely? At least they work! Maybe the swells, nothing happening at Whakaari? Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whakatane is quiet andthe tourist boats are offering fishing trips or a visit to Whale Island , which I believe is a bird sanctuary . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
