I only felt the last two, but if you look you see that 5/7 were in the same spot. They weren't huge, but the ground still got a bit of a boogie on.

Not expecting a massive quake (hell, these were just earthwobbles), but still interesting.

BTW Just so you know Wellington is on a fault line.

Yeah...when stupid stuff happens in NZ, it's usually Wellington's fault.

Didn't notice it here,could have something to do with my wife constantly shaking the house with her flatulence.

Damn Dave.

I studied Earthquakes a bit at uni, and my advice: don't live on a fault line! LoL!

No quakes around here - blizzards from time to time, but no quakes.

eeh just rampant murders, vandalism, assault, and generally psychotic behavior here.

Oz · #10 01-18-2005, 05:56 PM

No tsunami's? All good then.

Toksin · #11 01-18-2005, 11:49 PM

I never thought I was going to die, it just surprised me.

I thought Suislide was gonna cark it, got my hopes up too, but then he started typing again.

We used to get them pretty frequently here....aint been none lately. Probably an exciting one waiting to give us a jolt.

Earthquakes rock.....and roll.

Toksin · #15 01-19-2005, 04:23 AM
