We felt this in New Plymouth. Our bed was shaking, not too much but enough to wake me, and a small cupboard in the hallway was knocking against the plug sockets, thats what woke the wife.

Hope everyones ok.

So sorry for the damage in Christchurch, and for the fear the quake evoked. Thinking of all living through it. Cannot imagine an earthquake of this magnitude. Our coast just received the a brush of Hurricane Earl...worried about the folks in New England.
