My goodness you're quick Kels! I was just coming in here to post that we'd just felt one too?
Was it strong out your way? It's not the strongest I've ever felt but I could hear the glasses in the wine cupboard shaking.

yeah, pretty strong here. Our house is just sitting on a couple of piles so we feel them pretty bad. I'm so scared one day our house is just going to fall off.

About 11 years ago we had a few weeks of bad earthquakes in the Wgtn region and DH and I lived in a dodgy wee flat in Lyall Bay... I was pretty convinced it was going to fall down around our ears if the earthquakes kept going, either that or there'd be a tsunami (I lived one street back from the beach).

Well i am glad I am not in NZ at the moment, we have had some nasty ones in Waiouru over the past few weeks. Something is happening under that damn mountain there.
