Another earthquake off New Zealand, believe it or not the production lines I'm working on are down due to the tremors. Super sensitive micro balances measuring one 10 millionth of a gramme. Makes the world seem smaller
We lived in New Zealand in Wellington for some years and earthquakes and tremors were frequent. Most houses were the traditional wood with tin roof which could with stand shaking and bending and on one occasion our wooden house shifted off its concrete piles due to a strong quake but we were unharmed, just lots of broken crockery and glasses.
Well we're back to normal now, its just really weird when it happens and ou tell new operators its due to an earthquake 15,000 miles away
Similar happened a while ago when @Barry Haynes fell out of bed. Seismographs in California went crazy.
That wouldn't be a wise thing to do. Imagine the mess! Remember "The exploding whale of Florence, Oregon"?
The boy is on the Southern end of the south island and was shaken awake, he says it was very strange. That's it. Over and out. I think they're pretty much set up for quakes in NZ?
On Youtube, HubNut Goes Global trip around New Zealand and classic car scrapyards and museums, very interesting and he shows a lot of the New Zealand country and towns. worth a look.
