more accurate here (Geonet rounded off the minutes thus you have a margin of error of 1.64 sq. km):

http://quake.crowe.co.nz/QuakeMap/Single/?index=0

Using 6 decimals places to represent the minutes = margin of error of 11.12 cm latitude and and 8.06 cm longitude ;)
i.e. the point on Google Maps is much more inaccurate.

I just got home from work and saw this on the news!

I hope everyone is okay. You guys need to do a roll call or something just to see if anyone disappears.

Tank water I think.
Hmm, not sure actually.
Not much water went down, and what did... mostly came from Auckland.

Mostly from somewhere around 1 brewers lane.

Oh man, my bro was reading the paper at some time, and he read aloud that CHCH had another biggun?

Feel for all of you, I thought my life was bad enough having to support an Australian cricket team in almost as bad shambles as CHCH at the moment, but what you peeps are putting up with I can't even comprehend.

Here's to hoping you can wake up tomorrow and never have another shake in your life.

not a big one, but enough to shake folks up, as we haven't had one in a fair while.
