Shake, rattle and roll

At 3.52 pm this afternoon we had a lovely long rumble in Wellington, courtesy of ‘The Ring of Fire’ that we sit upon.

I was sat chilling in my room when the building began to rumble…and it went on for a good while! Normally you’d feel the quake, it registers, you begin to act upon it, by which point its actually over. However, this time it went on for a good 30 seconds, there was time enough to get up, and walk over to the TV and hold it, as well as for me to close my computer programme, shut the laptop and get on my knees!

Apparently it was a 6.3 Magnitude and 65 km deep
