Yeah we're all fine - nothing fell off any shelves or anything. Thanks for your concern!
I did notice that Dixie was a little twitchy and "grr"y just before I felt the shaking. But she can be like that for all sorts of random reasons - bless her. Dougal, however, being a bloke, was impervious to it all and only when the shaking started did he look up from his nap - and went straight back to his nap as soon as it stopped shaking.
It was 80km south of Nelson. There's a map of where it was centred in the link I posted.
It's scary just how many quakes we get here. It's something like 20,000 per year. I only ever feel one or two of those. The CEO of the govt department I work for used to research all that plate tectonics stuff. She gets so excited whenever we can feel an earthquake - it brings out her inner geek! LOL |
