Hi all, Not sure if we'll make worldwide news but we've had a 7.4 earthquake here. It struck during the night and was pretty effective at waking me up. It was close and shallow, 30km away and 33km deep.
http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/3366146g.html We're OK, only minor damage. A couple of bits of broken glassware inside, and we lost the top of one of our chimneys which broke a few tiles on its way down. Most of the city has lost power and a water main burst here so there's no water either. I expect that'll be sorted out before too long. I'm sending this from one of our laptops (with the good battery) and a cellular USB modem. Handy things to have. But I might not be checking my email often for a few days. We're getting small aftershocks every couple of minutes (some less small than others!). I'm still shaking a bit myself!
