I usually give her a 9.0 or 9.5 depending on effort on the dismount.

I woke up thinking my big mutt of a dog had snuck into the house and jumped on my bed. Turns out that I was yellinging at nothing. Made me laugh though :)

Meh - 120kms deep 5.9. Nah that is like a CB400 of a shake ya big pussy.

Pop down to Christchurch for some big-bore ones :niceone:

Bloody country is falling to pieces!

Good to hear there is no reports of damage yet. Lets keep it that way as we are busy spending all of EQC's money!

Felt it here in Napier. I had absconded to the spare room downstairs....some chainsaw or other keeping me awake upstairs :msn-wink:. I hate the bloody things (earthquakes, that is, oh, and chainsaws) and was just thinking about leaping ourt of bed to lie down beside it when I noticed the munty great beam that holds the upstairs up, right above me!
I might shift the bed later.....

My 10 year old son is in Chchur at the moment and felt his first decent shake on Tuesday.His words "I shit myself Dad.It was freaky!".
I grew up in Whakatane and still hate them.

Meh, the original big quake down here was pretty scary, but all the aftershocks since then have been pretty mild, and not at all scary - pretty much the only one I even remember is just because of the insane timing - I was watching a movie in which a WMD had gone off that was shaking an island apart, and right at that moment, an aftershock hit... it was rather amusing.

Hey, I fully symphatize with ya Chch fellas and dudettes. We have had a few ones here also lately but this one rolled on for a while. And as I was awake and on the puter at 4am there was my chance to start a thread that was not a repost...:D
