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.

Wow, it felt like I was on a boat.

What scale?  Any damage?

_________

7.1
(no data on depth)

Close enough to the nearest small towns to knock 10% of grocery shop
shelf items on to the floor.

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

Now, where is that sticky tape.

How bad were the after shocks?

People have been spooked.

 Yeah, up here the earthquake before last was a 6.9, I think. Just
enough to get your attention :-)

(and got their dander up)

I'm going to invent an earthquake proof pottery ornament holder and
make trillions of dollars.
