Hey Dmntd and others over there in the long white cloud;

I hope all is well with you and yours - the news headlines here show nasty weather and scary tidal action!

How bad is it?

Cheers and stay safe,

Still hope you lot are okay...

Cheers

Hey mate...all's well over this way for the most part.
The blokes down in Gisborne got a fairly sold 6.8 shake last night but as far as I'm aware no one has been injured...just property damage.
I live just under 300kms away yet we felt a BIG shake just before 9pm last night. LOL...initially I blamed my bourbon until my woman came out ranting and carrying on

Mmmmm, bourbon can do that...

Last saturday leaving a christmas party I headed upstairs to the level our car was parked on - "no, d1ckhead the car is down here..." (wife says)

I swore black and blue that our landcruiser was lifted up by some nutter and moved to another level of the carpark!!

But im a good singer, and Im really good lokking after a Beam or six!

I wonder if Beam is popular in the States - or is it like us sending crap beer overseas (like Fosters!!).

Cheers - not getting much work done today!!

Hey Jawk, thanks for your concern but as DMNTD said it was pretty localised in the damage caused. I also live about 300ks away to the south and certainly felt the shake rattle and roll...can't have been too bad thou cause the SDR was still sitting on it's paddock stand, and after I checked that I made sure the Missus was OK!
Have a good Xmas in sunny Perth even if it's only 21 degrees and overcast!

Shit DMNTD, sounds like a bad case of being possessed by Jedajoe.
Still figuring out if I should take the risk and ride to Wanganui without the licence but it sure would be cool to see 2 or 3 SDRs together.
