When I lived in Wellington years ago I was working in a shop
in Aro st (?) one day at work it felt like this huge lorry truck
had just driven past the shop (a blimmin long lorry truck!) - the whole shop was shaking.

Then next thing the guy on the radio said "Waow we were a rockin and
a rollin there for a moment guys" then he went on to talk about other stuff like announcing the next song etc

At that moment I realized earthquake shudders were all very "normal" for Wellington as it was obviously no big deal! - any shakes after that never phased me.

I was riding. It would have to be about an 8 for me to notice.

No, please keep rubbing - these Aucklanders have no clue when it comes to earthquakes.

i've been in the wellington region for about 2 years combined now and still have never felt one. You'r all a bunch of lying bastards.
Always seem to be driving or flying when they happen.

HAHAHA... that so funny!

One woman, who had been reclining on her couch, spilt sauvignon blanc on her pants.

thats such a giggle. Did anyone see the news last night about it, did they re-inact it?

I'm confused, 95% of aucklanders probably haven't experienced an earthquake before, so it is big news for us.

We realise Wellingtonians are used to them, but so what?

Next time any of you lot do something exciting and want to talk about it, let me know because I've probably already done it and I can tell you how precious you're being.

It snowed here once.... I think in 1978!! That was pretty exciting!
