well hi guys. I don't know how Stu got on but we had a real good shake up here in Timaru too. It was dark and the house started shaking and the windows were rattling like they were going to break. We got the kids up and all headed to the dining room table for protection. Thankfully it didn't get any worse for us and was over in about a minute. We have no damage to the house. It was scary for us so it must have been bad for those in Christchurch. We live about 180km from CHCH.
DeanoNZL has posted some good photos to tell the story in Christchurch.
Cheers
Gary
