Welly's, err, I mean Taupo's turn for the shakes...

[nudemetalz]

That was a hum-dinger,...made the WCC building sway quite well.

6.5 apparently 150km deep of Taupo.

[Bald Eagle]

Didn't feel a thing in Tory St.

[yungatart]

Felt it here in Napier.

[bogan]

Felt it in palmy, quite a long one too. If it was centered under taupo shouldn't the thread title be taupo's turn for the shakes? :innocent:

I'd imagine their shit would have a similar, if not less viscous, look and feel to a chocolate milkshake.

[Elysium]

What earthquake? Are even natural disasters bypassing Palmy as well?

[Banditbandit]

Never felt a thing in Whakatane - I hope Taupo is not getting ready to blow again ...

[Crasherfromwayback]

- I hope Taupo is not getting ready to blow again ...

Christ...can you imagine it!!??

[Oblivion]

Felt it here in New Plymouth. Saw that the Lazy boy decided to go for a quick sway. Was a humdinger though.

[Blackshear]

Christ...can you imagine it!!??

The entire world will feel it, most likely hear it.
They reckon the world could heat up by as much as 3-4c if it goes.

[slofox]

Can't say I noticed a thing here in the Tron...hardly surprising - even earthquakes get lethargic here...

[Banditbandit]

Christ...can you imagine it!!??

It blows pretty regularly - every 1800 to 2,000 years .. it's only dormant ...and we are passed the 2,000 mark since the last major eruption ...

Yup .. won't be no Air New ZEaland flights if that goes up .. and it may even reverse global warming for us ... tho' that's a pretty drastic way to reverse it ...

[mashman]

:bye::corn:

[ducatilover]

Felt it in Bunnythorpe. I just hoped it was my 600cc of raw power shaking the house.

Yep...I'd hate to be around if it does do it's thang...

[pzkpfw]

Felt it at work, went to stuff and their top article was a Melbourne quake just a minute before.

The Pacific (Australasia...) "heating up"?

[Katman]

Didn't feel a thing here.

[kiwifruit]

Didn't feel anything. No one I've spoken to felt it here (Taupo).

[Madness]

Didn't feel a thing here.

We've been telling you for years you have no feelings, believe us now?

BTW, have the jug on this Friday please :scooter:

[puddytat]

Jeez, pretty amazing that a lot of of people felt nothing in the Nth Isl., yet we got a gentle rock here in Murchison.....according to a geeza on Nat Rad the reason why many in the Nth didnt feel it was due to the angle of the fault & that the force of the jolt was projected southwards away from Taupo & was felt quite strongly in the Waiarapa/Wgtn region....:yes:

[mashman]

We never felt it in Porirua (thankfully)

[Swoop]

I hope Taupo is not getting ready to blow again ...
An interesting geologist was saying that Taupo is well on the way (and overdue) for another burp.
When it erupted for the "big one", the dust cloud went as far north as Mt Wellington in Auckland.

I thought it would have been much larger than that?

[Woodman]

Felt it in Motueka. Good shake, made me wonder if Christchurch had just had a huge one. Thankfully not.

[Kickaha]

Your counting is as good as your spelling

3.4 overnight 1/2 decent?, you're as soft as those Northern monkeys

[Shadows]

I felt it in CHCH, it was gentle as but the building still got a creak on initially. I thought it was a 2-point-fuck-all to begin with but it certainly went on for quite a while which got me thinking it wasn't the normal daily stuff we've been getting.

[oldrider]

Was sitting in the car outside Christchurch Hospital and felt it quite distinctly, wife was in a hospital bed on 2nd floor and felt it it quite strongly also!

When leaving the hospital about 5pm the police diverted us away from the Brewery because a tall chimney had been effected and was declared "unstable" so they closed the road!

Made a cunt of myself at the road block, went the wrong way around a police car and the man got a bit angry! :facepalm:

I just thought the cop car had had a prang, didn't look like a bloody road block! :mellow:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Felt that rumble this morning...

[BuzzardNZ]

one of the nargs at worked jumped under his desk when it started. He felt pretty stink when we saw 50 odd people laughing at him. On the 12 floor and felt like a decent jolt! :shit:
