There's lots of reasons why it should. Calling it an earthquake would be hard to take if you live in Chch for sure, but if nothing else it will make people think about their preparedness for the real deal. Not immune.

Any and every earthquake is making the news.

Jesus I'm getting sick of getting shit from the South about this jolt. It's not like we control what the dickheads at the editors room decide to spit out.

Fuck yeah. I'm looking at suburbs that end in 'Hill' and am showing the dog pictures of snakes.

Really? the 4.9 in Fiordland last night didn't, or the other 5 that Christchurch had yesterday ranging from 3.1 - 2.7

Much ado over nothing.

Well I hope if you people get any more, they stay that size, or are smaller.

They are well over rated as a fun thing.

It's not... it's what we know as a foreshock. The fun is only just beginning.

I imagine whether it's reported or not has something to do with how widely felt it is.
