| 873157 | 2010-04-05 06:07:00 | We are getting hit right now with a series of quakes - the biggest was a 7 . 2, but about 200+ miles away from here . They figure the effective Richter number here was at least a 6 . 0 or greater . We rocked for over 30 seconds and there have been lots of aftershocks . It was felt all the way up to my son's home in Missoula Montana, and Colorado Springs, Colorado . As I type this I am getting hit again . MMI . . Mag . . Location . . . Event Time . . . . . . . . . .

| 873160 | 2010-04-05 07:25:00 | We do get news broadcast here. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 873161 | 2010-04-05 08:46:00 | Shaken not stirred eh Joe?:D | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 873162 | 2010-04-05 11:01:00 | Yeah, we got the news here. Also news of one just a few kms from us yesterday at 7.10 am - said to be 10kms south of Amberley, and felt from Cheviot to Banks Peninsula. www.stuff.co.nz It must have been centred near us, but I was asleep at the time, and didn't notice it. Only 3.8, but apparently noisy. Given that we live in a liquefaction zone, I am pleased it wasn't worse. |

| 873164 | 2010-04-05 16:19:00 | We got a few shakes again last night - the biggest was at about approximately 04:18:25, local time. I don't know what the NZ metric eqiuv is, so youse guys may be confused. Is it windy in your uptilted tectonic plate? I am forming a totally non-scientific thesis on the prevalence of big winds just prior to earthquakes congruence. I know in my heart that my research will open new and solid evidential knowledge base to the causative - er, cause of earthquakes. Somehow I just forget that youse guys have electricity, crystal radios and a few neighbors with ice boxes by now and can actually receive news from the outside world. My oversight, sorry. |

Funny Jo the general consensus here seems to be "thick high cloud, very calm and quite, high humidity = Earthquake weather" We have that weather here this morning!!!!! |

| 873166 | 2010-04-06 01:46:00 | My neighbor borrowed a DVD from me called: "2012" and just as the ground opened up in the movie, the earthquake hit. I suspect that this one was caused by the movie and not some Cumulonimbus clouds. But I am open to suggestions. We seem to get our "Santana" winds and right along with that comes a few tremblors the next day or so. I believe that the mountains when blown upon by the 60-70MPH winds can cause some changes in the pressure below them since they are really giant billboards as they move ever so slightly in the wind. |
