| 1428710 | 2016-11-14 00:38:00 | Just north of Wellington here. Felt very bloody strongly here - just as strong if not stronger than the 6.6 that was centred locally in 2013. Seemed to last forever. I've got a mess in every room and all cupboards and drawers in bathroom & kitchen flung open. Some contents breakages but house is OK from what I can tell. Amazing what a house will tolerate - the side to side shaking here was insane. Really scary!! Can't imagine what it must have been like closer to the epicentre. UGH big after shock as I was typing this. Hope everyone is OK. | catspyjamas (15614) | ||
| 1428711 | 2016-11-14 03:32:00 | www.nzherald.co.nz Well, really? Who'd ever have thought that an earthquake could trigger emotional trauma? :rolleyes: I must tell my brother, who lives in Kaikoura, I am sure he will be very surprised. John H, we never do forget when we've been in a large one. I can still remember the Inangahua one and that was many years ago. I don't dwell on it but whenever one reasonably close to home hits, those memories come back. |

I'd have thought that all those who lived in Krakatoa had the least problems with mental disorders since most of them died. Oh - you said Kaikoura - not Krakatoa, my bad. |

| 1428714 | 2016-11-14 05:23:00 | On TV right now. Gosh - youse guys got a funny accent. I saw a lot of the damage and I guess youse had a 15' tsunami too. Living in Montana, there are - get this part - "LOTS of earthquakes here" - so say the local cowboys. Believe me - we had a quake every day or so in Anza, CA and I miss them here. But they say here in Montana that it one of the most active plates in the US. Bah! I miss my breakfast 4.3 and my noon 4.7 and my good-night 3.2. The best ride I ever got was a 7.8 when we were in the Big Bear Quake. That was fun, although at the altitude we lived at - 3000"+, the chances of a tsunami were quite remote. |

| 1428716 | 2016-11-14 07:54:00 | You reckon? :) :) That symbol in front of the 3000 is NOT a minus. It is a printer's gremlin, or sumpthing like that. I'll stand on my (corrected) statement that the 3000 foot elevation is pretty much tsunami-proof. I have a boat and a canoe just in case though. |

I don't dwell on it but whenever one reasonably close to home hits, those memories come back. A friend of ours was a young cameraman for TVNZ. He was out on the tug in the Wahine storm and as part of the violence of that experience his watch was smashed. TVNZ refused to reimburse him. Later they sent him unaccompanied into the Inangahua quake zone. The helicopter dropped him off and shot through with no arrangements to pick him up, so effectively TVNZ abandoned him there. Not long after, he resigned and emigrated to Oz where he was quite successful. TVNZ of course has sold and re-sold and replayed the Wahine footage he took a gazillion times without acknowledgement to him as cameraman, and he never was reimbursed for his watch. Sorry Marnie, but your post reminded me yet again of our friend's abandonment in Inangahua. |

| 1428718 | 2016-11-14 08:03:00 | Hey - can youse guys post a lot of pixs here on the site. I'll spread them around to my friends here in Hamilton and California - and show them what's going on in the rest of the world. We just came out of a lot of - no, make that: a barrage of news and blurbs about and concerning the past election. This would be a bit of a way for us to stop being so self centered. |
