The Tsunami gauges on Raoul Island don't seem to be providing updated info. Fingers crossed it is only a technical hitch with the geonet site...
It's done that a few times, dropping out for a few minutes, then coming back on the next refresh. That seems to hint that the data is being delayed somehow, but that the guages are still recording.

I for one can't wait for the Herald's inevitable "You're Vuze on What Should be Dun About All These Sunami's"

No they wouldn't - paper is carbon neutral.
Oh, but I'm sure that they make the paper especially from old-growth Amazon rainforest.
Badjelly's cat's name was bowdlerised from Fluffybum to Fluffy - some more innocuous part of it's anatomy.
Stinky excrement! Stinky excrement! Undergarments, Undergarments, Undergarments!
