Wow, we normally feel them really bad in out house but totally missed that one. When was it? Maybe we were too busy dancing to notice

I felt one the other day though...

Oh man, I soooo don't miss the earthquakes. I'm terrified of them. Living in Wellington must have desensitised me a little though - Singapore felt one of the Indonesian earthquakes last year and you would have thought the world was ending, it was actually pretty funny

ooo scary stuff! Do you get a lot in Wellington? It's on the fault line isn't it?

God damn it! I've YET to feel an earthquake! Probably a good thing but I was under the impression I'd feel lots when I moved to Wellington

I think my quake sensor needs new batteries. I used to feel them all the time, I was even more sensitive than the geonet equipment as they never picked up at all.

I think my paranoia has settled down now to the point I don't feel any. I did think the hospital were joking when they sent me on earthquake training when we first arived and by the end of the 2 hours i wanted to get back on the plane to London

I didn't feel it either.  It wasn't until my MIL mentioned it last night that I even realised we'd had one (and she lives downstairs from me so it must have been strong enough to feel in this area).  I must have been jumping around with M at the time.
