Hi all,
Not sure if we'll make worldwide news but we've had a 7.4 earthquake
here. It struck during the night and was pretty effective at waking
me up. It was close and shallow, 30km away and 33km deep.

We're OK, only minor damage. A couple of bits of broken glassware
inside, and we lost the top of one of our chimneys which broke a few
tiles on its way down.
Most of the city has lost power and a water main burst here so there's
no water either. I expect that'll be sorted out before too long. I'm
sending this from one of our laptops (with the good battery) and a
cellular USB modem. Handy things to have. But I might not be
checking my email often for a few days.
We're getting small aftershocks every couple of minutes (some less
small than others!). I'm still shaking a bit myself!
Well, when you get this you get it ...
Glad to hear you came through with nothing more than minor property
damage. Hope the same for your neighbors and family.
