What will Wellington get?

Christchurch gets earthquakes and Auckland got a tornado.

What is heading Wellington’s way? Tsunami?

Well you haven’t got a volcano so as girls can do anything, you can grow one of them. 🙂 🙂

Play the game SPC. We’re after possible disasters, not confirmed advantages.

Agreed, missed my house by about 50 metres, no fun at all.
So what does that say about public servants?

That’s a disaster, but I don’t think it qualifies as a natural disaster does it?

I was in Wellington in Feb, ahead if the Ch Ch earthquake. I assumed it had been hit by a natural disaster. You mean Wellington is supposed to look that way?

@Davinci – No, not natural. Not natural at all.

We could get a state owned railway network, loaded to the gunnels with cardigan-wearing bureaucrats which, despite gale-force southerlies, delivers them to their cubicle-farm public sector jobs. Every day.

As other commerters have noted, the true horror of this is already visited on us. Auckland and Christchurch are just playing catchup.

@The Stig 😀

Heh, I wondered the same thing last night.

A cyclone, flood or tsunami seem plausible (especially the first two; being Wellington).
