Well that was exciting. We've had a swarm of quakes out at sea off the northern part of the South Island of New Zealand. Probably 50 today following quite a few yesterday. The most severe a few minutes ago was 6.5 and in Wellington we bounced up and down for what seemed for ever. Now everytime there is an aftershock the adrenalin pumps and one dives for cover.
It's rush hour now and I bet all the trains have been cancelled as they will have to check the track and bridges.
Worse still, I was recovering Trainz from a bad update of nVidia graphics driver that didn't rollback properly. Been doing an ADR for a day and a half and quake crashed Trainz so got to re-enter CD Key, ID and password and start another ADR. Enough to make a saint swear.
Edit News report:
A fire service spokeswoman said the phone had been ringing off the hook, with power lines down, people trapped in lifts and multiple sprinkler activations in city buildings.
"We've had reports of damage to some buildings down town. We've got power lines that are coming down."
Every fire truck had been sent to jobs, she said: "We've got all of Wellington out now. And we've got jobs waiting to be addressed. We are prioritising jobs."
