(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) About 12:02am it hit and centred a long way away from where I am,,reports indicate a 7.5,really intense and long lasting,reports vary from 1-2 minutes,we are now getting aftershocks often and really makes me sick to the stomach TBO.
I live in the south island of New Zealand and some of you will may remember a major town down south got totally wasted after 2 major shakes in (I think) 2011.
The whole deal with these is there is nothing u can do really,in a storm you batten up the doors and windows,sandbag your driveway and /or move to higher ground,earthquakes offer little or no warning a shake or total destruction.
I think that the California members on here can relate to this you have a similar problem.
Reports coming are not got @ this stage but loss of life is minimal thank god.
