uh oh. well i guess this is it. let me dust off my
edgar cayce map and call up some real estate agents, haha.

Thanks for the website info. I'll bookmark it. :)

Well, I certainly believe something has started. Even our Prime Minister stated on national tv the night the quake happened, that there had been a world wide increase in large quakes this year! Obviously an unguarded statement. Interesting though.

No problems Alas Babylon. :) It is a very accurate site and has the quakes almost instantaneously listed.

Oh, please.....we need a big one.....we are so bored.....

Wake up, Godzilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um... we just had a big one. 7.1 a few days ago.

I know....but we need MORE, MORE!!!!!

Here in Brazil too...I want to feel what is an earthquake like...we've never had one significant earthquake here before...

Be careful what you ask for AC. You may not like what you get.

WOW !

Look at all the eqs the past two days !

Is it unusual to get that many or are you use to it like California ?

Another one... 4 mag - south island in Canterbury.

Great website !

Are you used to all this activity ?

Or is there something seriously wrong happening ?

This activity here in Christchurch is not normal for us, but it is absolutely normal for such a large earthquake. Before the big one I didn't feel one single earthquake in nearly 3 years. Now a 4.0 is nothing, unless it is close and shallow.

What happened near Littleton yesterday and today in Hawks Bay might be a different story, as it is not the same faultline...

Yep usual after a big quake. However, the quakes in the north island are on a different fault line.

it's like being in a van with two people fucking in the back

haha... yeah that is one description.. just as noisy as well...
