We had a good shake here, went on for half a minute or so, made the dog go a bit crazy!

Shook the house, I could feel it rocking. I woke my husband up and contemplated evacuating us out of the house......but it was raining.
It took me back to Christchurch days

Re: Whoa - Big shake in Marlborough
I don't believe it! Once again I miss one. Deep in the land of nod when it happened. Apparently the dog jumped onto the bed sitting bolt upright. Hubby said I talked to him as he was wide eyed awake. I don't remember doing so.
Apparently it was quite load of short sharp judders.
In my defence, I have the same communication problem with other half when he's awake .... at least I was in dreamland & still managed a conversation.
Hope all is well with everyone.
