Amazing how long it went on for! really sharp on the peninsula. Apparently it rolls a bit more on the flat. Power still out which sucks as can't listen to the radio. Hmmm...need to update my survival kit! Luckily this old stereo perched above my roadbike in the spare room missed my bike by a few cm's. Phew! Still some good after shocks going on though. Kids are a bit shaken up, lots of cleaning up to do tomorrow with books and plates all over the floor etc

Wow that was scary!

Glad I'm on the hills(?) looks like a fair bit of damage in the city.

Pic's on stuff don't look too good for the older part of the CBD, I hope that everyone is OK in CHCH and the surrounds

Nope, just a coincidence...

I thought it was just Wellington doing it's typical once a month silly buggers til I turned on the stuff.co.nz this morning. The pics are crazy, sounds like newer buildings are OK though? Wobbler says no power at his place but no damage. He said even the aftershocks were bigger than any he's felt in Wellington.

I suggest the police impose a "shoot looters on sight" policy.
