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. -------------

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. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| It was a 5.2 earthquake centred 60km SW of Wanganui, at a depth of 90km. Our house made some horrid creaking sounds that alarmed me, it was quite a good one! We were sitting watching TV and I freaked, I hate earthquakes. |
