Authorities
in Gisborne say they have been flooded with calls, following a psychic's prediction
that a big earthquake is on its way.
The
American woman believes it will measure around 8 on the Richter Scale, and claims
to have foreseen last month's 6.8 quake.
Gisborne
District Council civil defence officer Richard Steele says the situation is being
inflamed by people distributing pamphlets and using internet chatrooms.
Steele
says they will be asking police to investigate anyone acting with malicious intent.
