we felt the second one but not the first - can't believe that we felt it all the way up here, it must have been freaky down south.

felt it here in Invercargill hehehe DP cant have experienced many he was straight under the door frame with josh i wandered over later when i realised it wasnt stopping in a hurry. Really weird like the house was rolling around and around unlike the up and down ones we had a few years back that seamed stronger - really didnt feel like one of the biggest in nz. I wish it had knocked over the garage tho so we could claim insurance and build a bigger new one]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:14:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27502&PID=723814&title=earthquake#723814 <![CDATA[earthquake : yep felt it here in dunners i...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27502&PID=723795&title=earthquake#723795 Author: james

well it wasn't a huge one, but pretty scary - my cat woke up and was looking around and the dogs outside at the neighbours were barking

I still think I can feel it swaying but I'm pretty sure its still!

At least Lily is still asleep!
