What a whopper.
Stay safe veryone.
The universe consists of protons, neutrons, electrons...and morons.
I see USGS has it listed as a M7.4.
I'm suspicious due to duration of shaking (about a minute) intensity, and shaking intensity, as well as the look of the NZ drums, GNS/Geonet may have been premature in downgrading that to M6.6.
It was about 100km epicentre from Chch. I expected it was the Alpine Fault.
Scared the crap outa our two cats. Arlo hasn't come back inside yet. I could hear a few alarm systems activated by the motion.
damn supermoon quake
That was a long rolling one. What I fear are the shallow earthquakes. Those are the killers.
cruxis:
damn supermoon quake
Yeah, the 14th. Right on time.
Didn't seem like it was going to stop. Lights were flickering a little bit.
Hate to think what it was like closer to it.
I was deeply suspicious about moon phase and quakes, but I think it's becoming more accepted that there are some links. The previous large Chch quakes however didn't correlate.
Haven't seen any news from Hamner Springs area - they will have copped it. Nelson apparently lost power.
Now what's going on in Wgtn?
According to Geonet, you've been rattled by a closer one - but I think that may have been just a "phantom" on Geonet's system.
Some strong aftershock activity going on.
Benoire: Geonet showing lots of quakes across upper South and North Islands!
Yeah - I'm not sure if some of those won't be "phantoms" - incorrectly triangulated location from quakes in other areas.
