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

7.1
(no data on depth)

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

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

How bad were the after shocks?

People have been spooked.

I'm going to invent an earthquake proof pottery ornament holder and
