Hugs, Cat, Duck is fine, just a bit shaken. They are not that far from the epicenter. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/9056750/Seddon-shakes-comparable-to-Chch

The February quake is where we lost a dear friend. Just keep praying for the people in New Zealand please.

I was right near my elderly flatmates chair so he was quickly grabbed and pulled into the doorway.... with the way our house is built, its pretty solid there and close to a couple of possible emergency exits.... I am not sure that the house will handle another large quake, I have a feeling that next time it will be time to call the landlord and ask him how much hes insured for......

last month there was a few 5+ quakes as a sort of build up before the 6.5 that hit but this time there was no warning at all, and while we have had a heap of aftershocks, the big quakes were mostly over within 12 hours which was good.....

christchurch is 300ks south of us, they had a 6.8 a couple of years ago and a loss of 170+ lives.... so we are very very lucky indeed......

this will give you a idea of how much the area has been hammered by quakes in the last month and it only shows the 3.0 and higher quakes, its a 40k square area, I live at the top of the pic... seddon is the area where the inland red dots are, they are 5.0+ quakes
