We're in Linwood, and BOOM, what a quake! I thought we didn't get earthquakes down here in the plains?!
Linwood is all good, we got plenty of power hereand luckily there's no damage in our property. Neighbour lost their new 42" LCD telly though.
Our 150 litre fish tank came within inches of being toppled all through our living room. So we're pretty happy actually!
Wear QUASiMOTO !

Bike on it's side - little damage that I can see. Boo hoo. The new Yoshis survived
BUT
The house is fucked - doors all jammed shut, cracks everywhere, chinmey on the ground ........... I'm on a bit of a slope down to a stream - looks like we rocked down the slope 50 mm or so! Update more like 200-250 mm.
Stream is full of shit and flooding as the water mains all down the road are broken.
Otherwise all safe and Mrs B has shipped the kids off to hers as they at least have water and a working loo!
Have it large
Jeez, stay safe guys.....

I was hoping for a bit of better luck for your rides. Stay safe guys!
Whip it, whip it good!
Hells teeth you guys! Glad that you are relatively unscathed. Very scarey shit to be woken like that.

Stay safe and take care down there guys. Make sure you stay in touch with people just so they know you are ok. Do as one very wise KB'er advised and let the emergency guys do their thing. Dont take any chances and if in doubt just stay away
I hope it's not too long before things get back to some sense of normality, cripes guys and gals, this is shocking stuff.
Take care, look after each other

I'm on the Addington/Sydenham boundary and I still have power etc but the water is now off. No damage to anything I own, bikes still on their stands but then the're big dirt bikes so would have been ok anyway.

Scary as guys!
Keep safe look after you families don't go risking anything possessions can be replaced.
Edit; Just seen some pictures of the damage, Pretty bloody massive this, whole buildings smashed to bits!!
In the riders seat
It wasn't worth getting out of bed for
No damage that I can see here at home (Rangiora) couple of pictures fell over and that was about it, heaps of aftershocks though over the next few hours after the big one
edit 7.3 hmmmmmm, when I checked geonet it said 4.3 that must have been one of the aftershocks
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
The magic is in the rubbing.
Glad you're ok....what a massive shake up.Bike on it's side - little damage that I can see. Boo hoo. The new Yoshis survived
