Not sure if we have any Kiwis on here, but this afternoon, Wellington Region of NZ copped a 6.3 quake and a swarm of aftershocks, many of them over 4 on the Richter Scale.   Reading reports, a bit of damage.  Epicentre was 115km from Wellington.

The jolts were felt over most of NZ.

Stay Safe over there guys, I know what you are going through, been through one NZ myself only last year, plus a couple of big ones in Lima, Peru in 2002 and 2007, when I was visiting my son who was living/working over there.   They are bloody scary.

Hope our Kiwi friends have a quiet night.

Apparently not! That was over 7 and the epicentre was closer to (or in) the city.

Last I heard with this one no loss of life and much less damage.
