yeah i do remember some big ones we had when we lived in our upstairs flat.. that was horrible cos you almost would hear it hit te bottom layer and be waiting for it to move up the building. It used to sway so much!

That was really really weird - esp probably because we are in the 2nd storey! I'm amazed people felt it so far and wide though Where on earth does 40km South of Gisborne end up btw?

I hope everyone in Gisborne is okay! Looking at the damage on stuff.co.nz it certainly was bad

It wasnt funny or sissy here.
Was extremely scary, and seemed to go on forever! We have cracks in our ceilings in several rooms, loo and hot water cylinder leaking, broken stuff in kitchen. Had no power for ages either. Awful.

My comment wasn't meant to be mean or anything, from our home it felt like a normal shake that we have fairly regularly. And when I posted I didn't know that it was actually a big one far away.

I know, sorry. Im still pretty freaked out by it all. We used to get tonnes of little ones in Whakatane too, but this was something else.
One lady that my mil knows died of a heart attack. Even the hospital lost power and the emergency generator failed, and had to evacuate patients from a ward cos the ceiling collapsed. Town is still cordoned off.

I am so glad I was out in the car when it happened. I am sh!t scared of earthquakes I have panic attacks when I feel them (even the smallest ones).
Kellz I sent Emma a txt to make sure you were ok once I heard it was in Gisborne. Hope you get things fixed soon.
