It was a big long shake here in Wellington! No damage to our place but a lot of broken glass and stuff falling off shelves in town.
Biggest threat was a tsunami warning, I suspect bill Douglas spent the night in the car as he is right by the beach. A couple of fatalities being reported closer to the centre of the quake. Hope all the South Island members are safe. Cheers Reuben |

Hi Reuben and Pelicans. Bill Douglas reporting in fit and well. Pleased you are OK Reuben I hope things are OK at Powerhaus too.
Phew. Lots of things fell off shelves and some scaffolding fell over and hit the 911 - but everyone around here is fine. LOL the dogs enjoyed it. Friends on a hill above the beach called and got us +dogs and cats to join them. I had to push really hard against the aquarium to stop it tipping over. Luckily the aftershocks weren't enough to tip the aquarium over while I was sheltering up the hill. |

Glad you guys are okay, and I hope my friends on the south island are too.
Me and the missus are flying into Auckland next Monday for a couple of weeks r&r on the north island. I hope mother nature has finished her tantrum.

Glad you all are okay and here's hoping there aren't any tsunamis coming your way as a result of this. 7.8 is nothing to scoff at! Stay safe!

Well, I'm glad you won the struggle with the aquarium. That could have been nasty.
