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

6.5 apparently 150km deep of Taupo.

Didn't feel a thing in Tory St.

**yungatart** · 5th July 2011, 16:24

Felt it here in Napier.

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 ...

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