February 27, 200817 yr Shake, rattle and roll! How much on the Richter scale? I've been away from Wellington so long that I've almost forgotten what earthquakes feels like “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

February 27, 200817 yr It wouldn't be the first time: (in 2002) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2275158.stm Edit: and the current one for good measure: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6602677.stm "At first I thought a lorry had crashed into the back of our house, but having lived in New Zealand I soon realised what it was. The entire house shook." Edited February 27, 200817 yr by Gorth “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
February 27, 200817 yr I was in kent for their last big one. The local papers were full of pictures of the destruction. Which was pretty much limited to a wobbly chimmny falling off a roof. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
February 27, 200817 yr 5.2 richter. I thought it was just me being over-tired. Unlike everyone else getting out of bed I went straight TO bed. "It wasn't lies.

February 27, 200817 yr "At first I thought a lorry had crashed into the back of our house, but having lived in New Zealand I soon realised what it was. The entire house shook." laughing.gif So true.

February 27, 200817 yr Author I wasn't in bed at the time, and mostly I was curious if anyone else was awake... It really wasn't major... Just not the sort of thing that happends that often. "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me

"Earth torn asunder", etc kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
