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

    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 . 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.
