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

Wife woke me up (in Kapiti) as it was felt here. Hope everyone is OK. It's gonna be a rough few days getting shit sorted out and stuff. Have seen the first pics coming through, WOW.

Pretty noticeable but gentle here in Welly. Hope everyone in ChurChur is ok!!

Wow that was scary!

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

Dang, this is the first I've heard but sounds major. Just caught some pics on stuff. Hope everyone is ok

Is there a correlation there?

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.

lol, Wobbler

RJD · *by **RJD** on Sat 4/Sep/10 7:59am*

Just had another 5+ or so aftershock.

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