Merkaba and Cheese I'm so glad to hear you are okay, sorry about your shed Cheese. Us 3 all live in Christchurch you see, New Zealand is such a small place so it's bound to happen.

When I saw this on the news, I was also hoping you were all okay! I was shocked to see how many earthquakes New Zealand gets...thousands per year, apparently, but "only" 200 or so of them strong enough to be felt. That's a lot of earthquakes!
One time in high school, I heard rumbling and vibrations and thought it was an earthquake and was all set to jump out the 2nd story window. Turned out to be just a janitor pushing a cart on the roof. I remember adrenalin shooting through me from just that false alarm, so your very real experiences must have been very scary.
