Since being here, we've been in the supermarket on two separate occassions when an earthquake hit.

On both occassions the only reason we knew there had been an earthquake is because we were told about it afterwards (e.g. didn't experience anything at the time).

I reckon it's either:

1, We were swaying too much already at the (comparatively) high cost of shopping/groceries out here, that we simply don't notice a few other wobbles.

Or

2, Supermarkets are superbly built to not only withstand earthquakes, but to keep their customer's entirely oblivious, and focused on paying their (comparatively) high prices for shopping/groceries out here.


The frustrating thing is, because I've been "in" two earthquakes and never felt a thing, I'm now almost looking forward to the first one I do feel.

So you are seeing the good side of not having the kids around eh??:p

Re: Earthquake ! Log your rumbles here.
 

If you are there - and not here - why does the signature at the side still reckon you are here - are you coming back soon??
Maybe if the earthquakes know you are there you will feel them :rofl:

Re: Earthquake ! Log your rumbles here.
 

Quite right too!

Hadn't spotted that. Well they know we're here now!

I wonder how long will I have to sit here and wait?

Not a sausage since Feb 2007 & the 3 we had in one evening weren't very big. The two I have experienced in the UK were worse. I love a bit of seismic activity ;)

Definitely felt this week's in Seaview, thought the idiots in the warehouse next door had driven a forklift into my office wall!

That's 5 I think in Wellington since I got here in July, starting to think it's personal!!
