   Hard to imagine what a M7 or more must feel like. I’d prefer not to find out.

     Thanks Michael. I’ve been looking forward to feeling a good one for a while now.

   I was sitting at the table on a chair without padding and felt it but wife on soft couch didn’t. That’s in Wellington on solid ground. I recall looking at the EQC “dodgy ground” charts (the employer had copies) when I moved here and those have dictated house purchase locations since.

   Not particularly dramatic around Palmy but it was a long ‘un.

   I was involved in this earthquake in the Philippines at Clark AFB in 1968:

   It knocked me out of my bed and killed 300 people in Manila.

   I lived in Wellington for 10 years, but got out after one tall building shake too many. I tried to recruit a brilliant programmer but they wouldn’t have him because, they said, in an earthquake, he could not run down the stairs. Bastards. He was only about 67 kgs and everyone would have been willing to carry him down. Knowing of human nature, he would have been the first person carried down the stairs in an emergency. I had to tell this guy that he didn’t get the job because of this. I bloody wept.

   Big quake in Pongaroa. Two sheep and a Puekeko were frightened. Property damage of $1.27 was caused by a half empty can of Tui falling over.

     $1.27?? Sounds like an insurance scam to me.

       Lies! All lies, I tell you.
       Why, we suffered utter devastation, and we urgently need foreign aid.
