A 6.6? Whatev...

On Friday we had a 6.6 quake. It was a bit of a build up (I immediately grabbed my bum bag out of the drawer), then got stronger (under the desk!) and then got quite violent (grabbed my bag, stuffed my stuff into it), knocking things about (nicely, my mug fell off... in my now open drawer!), before finally quieting down. Now, we had 'standing orders' of getting out of the building, but people weren't running for it. We had time to pick up most of the fallen items... but get out we did anyway.

Leaving us milling around outside. Eventually we were told 'go home'. With the trains out of order (not that it mattered to me) and the buses packed (that was more of a problem). Yay, I get to walk home! Town it weirdly packed full of people not sure what's going on, and lots of cars as people decide that the CBD is not a place to be. I end up walking most of the way (bussed a little way), took me an hour, but at last I was home.

With no hot water. Yay...

But, looking at the online sites, you'd be hard pressed to see anything about it now. Two days ago (as of writing this), and the main articles on Stuff is... a kid wandering around, bad weather, and something about sports. Meh, we're over it. While writing yesterday's blog post, we had a 5.5... I kept typing, hey, I didn't have time to shake, I got stuff to do! And that's what we seem to be. (Work is down half a day, but we'll be back in business at midday.)

And since we are in a music battle, I give you "Nice day for an earthquake":
