I felt it too here, and I paniced as I am so scared of them. We don't have a kit as such but I do know where everything is if we needed it and we do have water stored outside and inside. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I think they said on the news it was centered somewhere near hastings. There was a good rumbling sound with it too, freaky! I am scared of them too Becks Rach good idea to have a plan, all those places that lost power! Think I will check out the back of the phone book and see what they recommend in a kit. ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

Ooooh earthquakes are scary!! We had REALLY bad thunder a few nights ago which scared the crap out of Dh & I! It was sooo freakin' loud it shook the house. Must've been right over top of us.
Anyway, we do have our survival kit all sorted. We have 2 weeks worth of food & water. Thermal blankets & ponchos (those plastic raincoat ones). First aid kit, torch with built in radio & beacon with phone charger point, lighter, & tea candles. Dh sorted it all for us. He's a
We have one "run away" small backpack bag which is located in the garage where if we need to take off with no time to pack anything (like a tsunami is coming) that has the basic food, water & first aid kit to last a few days. Then we have a large backpack filled with thermal blankets & the works to last us 2 weeks. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
