Christchurch

A rather vio­lent earth­quake hit Christchurch yes­ter­day, and it has dev­as­tat­ed a city that, quite frankly, has had enough of feel­ing the earth move. Peo­ple are help­ing where and when they can. We do know that this is one sit­u­a­tion where throw­ing mon­ey at a prob­lem can help. It might not fix every­thing, but right […]

Didja feel that one?

Well, did you?

More info once every oth­er man and his dog stops ham­mer­ing the GeoNet web­site.

Update. Well, there ya go: a 4.8 shake, focal point 50km deep, 30km west of Porirua, out in Cook Strait. A decent rat­tle.

(And if you did feel it, report your expe­ri­ence here. Do your bit for sci­ence.)
