7.8 earthquake in NZ...

[Karen]

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.

You know it is amazing, no-one was hurt and minimal damage, i cannot quite believe it myself, it was the biggest we have had in 78 years,yeah i felt scared just hearing about it myself, far enough away really ,but still too close for my liking.

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.

[carole]

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.

Ditto, Carole. I'm glad that all is well w/you and yours.
