Well, no, actually. Okay, it poured and poured and POURED for days and THEN there were floods. Wow, what a huge surprise for all ofus. I mean, it was terrible, especially for the people who got flooded, but there's also this wierd element of hey, pool party in the street. Tsunamis, on the other hand, kill people and do it fast.
And as for the earthquakes, what I really meant is okay, I know it's a really serious danger, but I've picked up the Wellington habit of being blase about it. Because we're so overdue, and because frankly we can't do anything about it, and it's the huge hanging threat, we tend to just ignore the possibility, and condescend to anyone who's scared of our baby quakes. ;)
