1182635 2011-03-01 09:57:00 That was the biggest shake here in my 14 or so years in Wellington. So really hoping it wasn't in Christchurch because it sure shook this place.

You've missed at least one @ 4.8 originating from the same location on 11/10/2009

Have enough alcohol and you won't feel anything much. :)

But then it is possible he was elsewhere at the time and date.

Yes I wasn't thinking Richter scale. I experienced a 6.5 in Wanganui in 1991 and hope to never top that.

1182638 2011-03-01 10:14:00 Dear Wellington,

You guys don't know what an earthquake is.

Cheers, Chch.

On another note, that aftershock we had tonight was pretty decent, long bugger too.

1182639 2011-03-01 10:18:00 Yes I wasn't thinking.

Fixed that for you. What scale do you use?

1182640 2011-03-01 10:25:00 Yep, felt that 4.6 here in chch, hope welly's ok with the 4.5.

What am I saying! Anything under 5 is usually not too bad.

In terms of shaking alone, the 7.1 was the worst (here in Dunsandel at least) - I was waiting for the roof to cave in when it happened.

So what scale is used to measure earthquakes as opposed to IQ then?

And also why comment on my IQ which has nothing to do with the Richter scale?

More herrings.

1182642 2011-03-01 10:53:00 The MM scale? --Wolf-- (128)
1182643 2011-03-01 10:57:00 The MM scale?

That scale is used for earthquakes at times. But in no way is it used to measure IQ.
