Around Hamner Springs/Culverton so Christchurch is closer than us.

Swayed our tanks . Shook the house . It was long and it was shallow.

Felt two more since.

Re: Bad long quake.
 

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.

Re: Bad long quake.
 

Been a couple in North Island fairy large since Hamner and of course Seddon has to have a little shake as to not be outdone

Re: Bad long quake.
 

Yup

Think it is Seddon fault close to Blenheim.

Still rocking.

Hanmer power is down.

Re: Bad long quake.
 

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?

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.

Re: Bad long quake.
 

They will do. A big shake like that will cause aftershocks for some time to come.

Downright rude I'd say.
