Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hits new zealand

[tekmantwo]

It looks like another quake in New Zealand,  off the coast of North Island. .

It was initially rated a 7.3, I think they have downgraded it some..

And a 7.3 off the coast of Japan, triggering a Tsunami warning which has been downgraded to advisory level.

Cat just got ditzy on me ... couldn't make up her mind whether she wanted to go out or come in. Went to get into bed and she attacked my ankle and growled at me ... then instantly we had another earthquake. Centered a lot nearer to me  than the  ones down South.  We have thunder, hail, strong wind, rain and eq's tonight - but so far they are under 5.0's ... will come back on if we have a more significant event.

May you be safe sister.

Good warning system  =^.^=

Cats are sensitive to the earth's movements, my big ginger boy would sometimes stop what he was doing and stare at the ground .. when he did that we knew an aftershock was coming - but he couldn't differentiate between a big one and a small one so he was not very helpful there! A friend who lives closer to the epicenter of the quake says his cat does a similar thing. Stay safe my sister, somehow the bad weather always feels a bit worse when you have to deal with aftershocks on top of it.

Pretty dramatic weather, sister. Never mind the earthquake business! Be safe!

This time last year I went on a South Island road trip. I had been wanting to do it for a long time. Starting in Auckland where I live I drove 5000 km down the East coast as far south as Dunedin then across to Queenstown then back up the west coast completing a big loop back to Auckland.

Travelling through Kaikora, and Hanmer Springs was beautiful. So sad to hear it was the epicentre of the initial huge quake. But also thankful I did it last year and didn't put it off for another year as I have done for so long. Some of the roads I travelled are now impassable.

I was just thinking about you, and wondering how you are doing. Good to read your words!

Did you pass by the eleven apostles? I would love to see them before time takes them down.

Apparently there are different types of 'earthquakes' or shake-ups taking place.....
