Another good quake

We have just had a good shake 6.5 on the scale at 5.09pm Local time. Having a look on Geonet.co.nz we have been getting quite a large number of shakes for the last 72 hours.
The quake boys call it a swarm. After Christchurch in 2010, we're getting a little concerned at the moment. Neil.

 

I hope you and your family alright.

 

O_O Stay safe Neil!

 

Thanks guys. We are all OK and no damage done thank goodness.
We just renewed our hot water cylinder a month ago (internal leak) and the plumber made sure he installed the retaining bracket securely.

When you live in a Country where there is always the worry about "the BIG one ", anything free-standing (book cases) are secured by brackets to the walls.

There have been reports of damage in the city and Seddon where the quake was nearest. Arie, I think I saw the swimming pool on the TV news with the water sloshing from side to side.

We're still getting after shocks reported and will be for some time I think. Neil.

 

With weather patterns and natural phenomena and wars occurring world wide, where is a safe place to reside?
Since last evening's 6.5, we've had over 100 recorded tremors up to magnitude 5 occur around the quake zone. It's getting hard not to spill your coffee and blame it on old age. Neil.

 

Weather line on our Daily newspaper was done with tongue in cheek today.

It read: Weather - who cares as long as the ground doesn't go up and down!
Neil.
