Apparently most people in my office and my wife's office were under their desks. Hope everyone down south is ok.

I'm on Spark, I can't send txts from Johnsonville, but I am receiving. Data is fine. Capacity fail? Will have to use Whatsapp or similar. Obviously a peak demand period. Stuff mobile app isn't working either.

Spark / Skinny appears to be down - I have emergency calls only on my Skinny phone, going through their Facebook made me angry and have a little rant at somebody.

Was a big shake here on the waterfront (1st floor) - everyone got under their desks and I was contemplating it at one point however thought watching the people out on the waterfront scramble was a little more fun.

Stuff says 6.3, inland from Kaikoura.

Hopefully no injuries.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Spark does say they're having major problems.

My Cell Phone is down for calls and Text. It was a long shake and a strong quake




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

The quake rocked for quite a while. But, not very strong in Christchurch.

Here, in Wellington there were quite many pushes, but not too strong. Not stronger than last year.
Vodafone was ok, slingshot was ok.
