oi oi , I'm online, we just had a massive earth quake in New Zealand
this second.

It lasted for about 15 seconds, and rocked things around quite a bit.
But nothing fell over.

7.1

Close enough to the nearest small towns to knock 10% of grocery shop

Most homes lost some ornaments, china, pottery, etc.
