Well, we had another earthquake here midnight Sunday.... M7.5 located a couple of hundred k's south of here.

Here are some pics to satisfy your morbid curiosity...

And the damage at our place...

That's my side of the bed. Luckily I was up with our son at the time this fell over.

120 litre's of fish-tank water through our lounge. We were still finding live fish on the carpet at 10 a.m. the next day...

Yeah, bigger than the Christchurch earthquakes a few years ago - and certainly a lot longer - it was shaking for about 2 minutes.

We've had a bit of minor damage to the house, but nothing significant.
 
I saw an interesting picture of 3 cows stranded on a patch of land about 15 feet big while the rest of the land around them sunk about 20 feet. Weird how nature works sometimes.

Most importantly I'm glad you and your family is safe!

Yep - those cows are now world-famous!

Apparently the farmer has been able to rescue them, but had to wait until it was safe to get there.
