Just to keep us on our toes we had another significant shake today. This is starting to get tiresome :) We've had little to nothing for quite a while.
This one was a 5.8, centered about 20km away from the city which is a little further than some of the others. It was centered offshore but there's no tsunami danger (quake too small, water too shallow). We were out in the car so we didn't really feel the intensity and we only knew for sure it was a quake when we could see lighting poles wobbling. The place we were going had closed for the day so we came home. The supermarket was still open which I thought was very good of them. No reports of major damage or injury as yet. Apparently it was pandemonium at the big malls, you could just imagine something like this happening on one of the busiest days of the year. Our place is fine, a couple of things fell over but nothing is broken. There's been some liquefaction out east again. I think this will be the fourth time those guys would have had to dig it out so my heart goes out to them. Janet's dad is still coming down tonight for Xmas. He always seems to just miss these things by a day or two.
