Woah this is a biggie, it was in the bottom of the south Island, i live in the North, so long way away, but was actually felt in the bottom of the North Island, apparently not too much damage or any casualties, that is so darn lucky, let us all hope there are no more, scarey, i so hate even hearing about earthquakes.
Wow that is huge and very scary, I hope nobody was hurt.
I hope no one was hurt, and that everyone is on the lookout for any resulting tsunami, with New Zealand being an island nation et al.
Stay safe, little kiwis!
Of course, I immediately thought of you when I heard about the earthquake. Thanks for letting us know more about it.
Holy all get out!
7.8?
That made my stomach turn....:eek::(
Ditto, Carole. I'm glad that all is well w/you and yours.Quote:

Yes Karen there were warnings, but it seems to be ok,no huge waves, thank goodness.
If you use Firefox you can get this earthquake alert add on for it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2239
According to mine you have had 2 'quakes in the last hour off the west coast of the south island.
Oh my God.. So glad to hear you are okay and there were no injuries and minimal damage. And may you stay tsunami-free, too.
yes i am fine, we are a long way from where it was, thank goodness, still it is worrying and who knows what is to come yet, fingers and all paws crossed there will be no more big ones.
Glad you and everyone in the affected areas are safe!:love:
:) Yes I heard about it.. So glad you & everyone is ok.. Stay Safe..
Gosh, that's a big one! :eek: I'm glad to hear you and everybody are safe - stay that way!
whew...mega quake. I'm glad it didn't do much, though!
Thanks everyone for your concern, i never even felt anything, but apparently it was felt as far away as Sydney Australia, hard to believe i noticed nothing here.there were reports of lots of after shocks, but no more news, so hopefully that is going to be it,i am hoping so for all of those living there., fingers and all paws crossed eh?
