I was drinking with Linz and CM, and it was a little jolt - but funniest surely was the OneNews anchor who asked the seismologist sitting in Wellington what the "feel of the people of Gisborne" was, and his response was "well that's not really my job, isn't it more your job to find that out?".
I didn't notice if my house was shaking at all, but I do know for sure that my bed was shaking but not sure whether that was due to my husband or the earthquake.
Lower Hutt, house is built on a flood plain - a strong jolt and a long roll. Everything in the drinks cabinet rattled.
I was in Dunedin when the earthquake off Milford Sound struck in October - that felt much stronger (although it was bigger and closer than last nights)
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
well....the earth moved for me last night here in Rotorua....but I'm pretty sure it wasn't due to an earthquake
ReplyDeleteBy quite a coincidence, I was talking on msn messenger with an associate of mine who lives on a farm just out of Gisborne when it struck.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed terrified, poor chap.
But, (as the tart said to the Vicar) "I didn't feel a thing"
I felt a slight shake down here.

ReplyDeleteNZ tv news, still pricelessly vapid.

ReplyDelete100km from Wellington--just a faint vibration and few creaks here.
ReplyDeleteBusiness as usual. ;-)
