Hmmm, that was the biggest quake I've experienced in a long while. Did not like it at all.
Originally rated at 6.8 or 6.9 (now reviewed down to 6.5), Stuff have a short article up. But as at the time I'm posting this (it may change), it starts with the sentence "A large 6.8 earthquake has hit Wellington, sending office workers diving under their desks.". I don't know about your town, but there aren't many people working in their offices at 5.09 on a Sunday afternoon. I'm beginning to wonder if Fairfax have an automatic headling/story generator. It might explain a lot about the standards of some of the writing I see on Stuff.
