Glad to hear you are OK! That was a pretty large one. Any notice from the animals before it hit? Yes, my middle girl was out in her tent, she reckoned about 5 seconds before every aftershock the birds would fly out of there porches then back in after it had stopped.
A woman down the road was saying yesterday that her horses wont come near her now and spent the whole day just standing in the corner of the paddock

Thats right steev, we just learn to deal with it, but its always in the back of the mind,"what if it happens how".
The section of 'ring of fire that runs through NZ is the fastest moving of the plate boundary anywhere around the Pacific ring while its heavily locked also, they reckon when it goes it could produce between 8 & 9 magnitude scale and last for 5 to 6 mins... something to look forward to hey.

The first thing I thought of was your stone walled greenhouse! Glad to hear you suffered no damage. I made a point of building it with heaps of fence wire netting encased in the internal structure, still this quake was not the the 'big one' though, the main ring of fire faultline is still due anytime so i'm now confident that it still say up right.

Just to let everyone that myself and family are ok I cant believe we got away with no damage at all,nothing fallen out of cupboards,stonetunnelhouse has no creaks, the paintings on the walls are still straight, i even have a bucket still sitting up on top of a step ladder, yet we are only 30kms away from the epicenter. I put it down to being on alluvial shingle plains which absorbs a lot of the earthquakes energy. Anyway bloody hard to sleep after that so feeling a bit buggered today. quakemap.co.nz/www.stuff.co.nz/

I really feel for all you in the US who could see through all that crap that was dished out by the corrupted main stream media, but would it have been any better if that other wench had won??, a case of more of the same verse deep uncertainty.

For me i dont seem to be able to grow rounds and i dont know why. When i sow bulbils i space them out to about 20cm apart and these will always grow straight into bulbs within the one season. Ive got one section in the garden thats got a whole heap of bulbils thickly sown which i dont normally do, will be interesting to see if rounds come out of this area.
