Hope our Kiwi bro's and the hobbits are all OK. Maybe someone upset a Balrog.

Nah their island is sitting on a quake fault.

Good thing nobody was killed

Yeah I heard that the epicentre was only about 6kms away from Christchurch city centre. I've already seen some pictures on the news of damage. Brough back memories of the Newcastle quake years ago. Hope everyone and the sheep are ok.

Blimey I remember that one. I was 14 floors up in a building in North Sydney and felt the shaking and wondered WTF was going on.

Are all 14 million sheep alright?

If you feel just the shaking it's probably not that dangerous or immediately dangerous

however

If you feel the ground or floor literally moving rapidly in all direction horizontally you are most probably in immediate danger

If you feel the ground or floor literally moving in all direction INCLUDING vertically the building will most probably collapse.

Looking at the damage in NZ you can say they're blessed that nobody was killed. Good thing. To me Australians and New Zealanders are among the warmest people. Heck no wonder because they are listed as being among the happiest nations on the planet

Yeah, well I was just down the road from you in Military Road, Neutral Bay that day.

I wonder if this is a precursor to Australia's planned invasion?

Naw it was probably just the HAARP Earthquake Gun missing Iran again...

Last time we used that earthquake gun it hit Haiti, Hmm, it must be flawed.

Wow. I lived in Military Rd in Cremorne and my wife was home with the eldest and rang me to ask me WTF just happened.
