Good shake here in Wellington city (in the order of "I need to get back out of bed immediately.") Poor people of Hamner springs!
Better get out the Mr. Tippy cup for a night cap.

Massive here in Manawatu, doors swinging, animals rushing around the house in a panic, swaying going on and on. Our house very old and wooden, will check for damage in the morning, hope everyone especially in south island ok?

Re: Bad long quake.
Friends in Orewa felt it but we didn't. Friends in Kapiti have broken glass from fallen picture frames etc. Just hope that there's no damage to people.
Thinking of you guys down there experiencing this and stay safe.

Don't they realise that some of us have work to attend tomorrow? Really most inconsiderate.
