New Zealand's South Island has been rocked by a massive 7.5 Earthquake last night

So last night i was watching a delayed game of NBA on the TV and fell asleep, at midnight i was awoken to some shaking??
I got up and noticed lights swinging and banging coming from my house, i moved over to a bookcase that was rocking to hold it. This earthquake went on for 2 minutes and it felt strong, we live 400 kilometers from the epi centre.

2 dead, 1 was a result of an old house that just collapsed onto a man - not good

Major earthquake in Canterbury.
The Elms homestead near Kaikoura.

Hiya - just spotted your latest post on the new tab. We've both been here since August but I never spotted you before. We are in Wellington, where are you?

Hi - i am in Feilding - i was looking for the others kiwis on here but never found any until now :)

Other kiwis - @sift666, @trevor.george, @benjamin.still, @senseiteekay (living in Aus), @cryptoiskey (in Aus too). There have been a handful of others, but they haven't posted recently and I can't remember who they were now!
