It's supposed to be local - 6pm. Unless places on UTC+12/13/14 have to wait for tomorrow. Nothing about earthquakes from USGS about Kiritimati or Phoenix Island. Chatham Island is next, then NZ.

geoff, there's enough time to see nothing happen in NZ on the 6pm news.

You all have it wrong!
Go to the Rapture website and discover today is the day all good souls are taken and all the r soles are left behind for another 5 months. The so called beginning of "End Of Days". They maybe right! big Arnie must sure think End Of Days has started, in 5 months he will probably be left with only his socks and undies!
And if there is a huge Supernova like flash, I have already sent the report off to CBAT - "Peter Marples reports the discovery of a possible supernova in" ... message ends abruptly. Or as someone once said "what the ( well you know the rest) was that"

Nah, he'll fall on his sword and be redeemed

In his socks and undies, of course

Then here's an idea.
At 6pm we all hide and pretend we're "good souls".
I plan to hide at the Normanby Pub.....
Plenty of Good Souls there, until they get into the holy water...glug glug glug.

Cheers and farewell,
Ken.

Is it just a coincidence there have been no posts from any NZ members or have they all been taken.
So is it too late to start spinning the prayer wheel???
