Just a wee shake gone through the house, I'm not from here so still find feeling earthquakes fascinating.
How do your babies/children react?

Both of mine are asleep so tht a good thing. I hate them and went running into DH. I'm waiting to see how big it was and where it was centred (there is a good website that has the info 15 minutes after a quake).

I was at lunch with a friend and my mum. I've grown used to not having earthquakes living up in Hamilton, so I thought someone was just pushing past my chair, until my friend said about an earthquake.
wasn't til we were home that my dad said about it and said it was just over 5.

I felt it. I thought it was very sissy actually. MIL was here, she didn't like it though lol. DH and his dad didn't feel it at all.

When I used to live back in Palmy, earthquakes were always going on... I remember looking out the back of the house and the clothes line was bending like a noodle, also living in marton on the farm, it's funny how you get used to them, not any down here in Christchurch!

DP grew up in Lower Hutt, he's used to them.
I still find them exciting. Feel them less in Feilding than when we were living in Bulls.
First time I felt one felt like a truck hitting the side of the house - the rocking couch kinda gave it away.

I used to live in the central north island and we used to have them all the time so I got quite used to them. I've lived in Auckland for 9 years now and haven't felt a single one and I really miss it.

You do get them down here but not very often I remember when I was in my first one I just thought someone was shaking my bed trying to wake me up realised it was an earthquake when my wardrobe doors started opening and closing.

I've had that experience too Danni (the waking up shaking thing, not the wardrobe doors bit). I wasn't sure if I had felt something today cause I was moving. It was my DH who felt it - kinda like kebakat but in reverse lol
