1182645 2011-03-01 11:17:00 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.
So if you were in your house and didn't know what the size of the shake was on the Richter scale, how would you measure it? Hint - the size of the quake wasn't known at the time I wrote the original message.

And you know that my IQ is not much above zero? How did you work that out?

As to the hint. You do the research afterward if you are still alive. I would not be bothered trying to measure the 'quake while it was going on which would put me in the moron class or very dedicated.

You choose.

1182652 2011-03-01 18:52:00 Didn't feel anything north of Upper Hutt, though fairly solid ground here with underlying rock off Emerald Hill, even though we're nearly on the Akatarawa fault. Terry Porritt (14)
1182653 2011-03-01 20:50:00 Wellllllllllll- I'm in Wainuiomata ( no kidding) :) Heard a slight rumble then a good jolt, the whole house creaked and moved, the fish tank was splashing about, SWMBO jumped under a doorway going ekkkkkkkk -- I wondered out-- OK who farted.

In my house we have a rule...not allowed to say fart....so we say tarf!

As you were!
