Did anyone else feel the earthquake at around 3.15? The rumble woke me up and the jolt was huge and I haven't been able to get back to sleep. Had to check my babies and then folded the washing and then...

Gonna be a looooonnnnnggggg day

Don't remember feeling it, but we did wake up at that time so must have done. apparently I was snoring (got a cold) and Neil was trying to get me to move.
Maybe it was my snoring you felt, Neil said it was about that loud

I must have slept straight through it but I just mentioned it to DH and he was woken up by the huge jolt (he said it was massive and started shaking my chair for effect). He jumped out of bed and stood for a few minutes waiting for the next one in case he had to race to grab Michaela.

We certainly felt it in Tawa - woke me up and then had to get out of nice warm bed to go pee
