Holy crap, we just got off the South Island in time. Ferry terminal in Picton and Wellington wrecked.

No damage here, but nearby in Wellington some significant stuff, really bad South. It's not the unzip they've feared, so that's good. Been getting aftershocks all morning.

Yikes. Stay safe. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 12:06
Wow! How close to you was it? -- nm - Bacon Nov 13, 12:06 5
- We are just outside Wellington, 5 miles. The epicenter was a few hundred miles away. - colin Nov 13, 12:08 4
  - Wow, rocking!! I was about 60 miles away from a 7.1 and that was bad. - Bacon Nov 13, 12:10 3
    - It was very deep, so instead of a jarring shake, it was more of the ground rolling. I was outside and almost hopped in the air by it. -- nm - colin Nov 13, 12:12 2
      - Glad you are safe. That is crazy. How long did it last, estimate? Over a minute right? -- nm - Bacon Nov 13, 12:31 1
        
        Yeah, it was over a minute. Time for us to go downstairs, get outside. -- nm - colin Nov 13, 12:46
