A big quake indeed. Our prayers for those affected. I hope the aftershocks are comparatively mild.

Probably an act of God to scare off American liberals

The energy released ramps up logarithmically with rating.

Was wondering if a Tsunami had formed.

7.9 in 2 places:

GEOFON South Island, New Zealand Nov 13 11:02 7.9 10
Dunedin - Felt like three rumbling shakes of around equal length and an equal sized 'gap' between them. Desk shook reasonably noticeably.
Palmerston North - Nothing was damaged, the street lights went off though.
Palmerston North - Mirror swung, doors swung open and shut. Lamp rattled and flickered. Things rattled on shelves. Walking a bit diffciult, floor swaying.
Hamilton - Long rolling movement.
Invercargill - Building was creaking, got out of bed and the feeling was like being dizzy. Went on for 5 minutes.

EMSC South Island Of New Zealand Nov 13 11:02 7.9 10
Auckland - A horrid reminder of why I left the south island.

Hmm, there’s a vast open stretch of ocean between NZ and our west coast, very deep as well. If conditions are just right this could be, to paraphrase Trump, HUGE! Alli those Cali Libs should head for the mountains. On second thought, they’ve already screwed up Colorado so don’t want any more of them in the mountain states. So, Calie boys and girls, stay put, the government will take care of you, heh heh......
