[Unofficial] 5.2 Earthquake hits during inspection (Wellington, New Zealand)

[tx789]

Big Earthquakes were hitting regularly at the middle of the school Holiday. Centered in the Cook Straight near a town called Seddon in the South Island. TOday on the 16th August at 2:31 pm a 6.4 hit. This is one of the after shocks which happened at 5:31 pm and was a 6.0. http://www.geonet.org.nz/quakes/region/newzealand/2013p614135

The only way I could see to make this funnier is if you did your solve during the earthquake. (Assuming no one gets hurt)

the thing about that is: you think this could be the big one. Wellington had a 8.5 earthquake in 1855 which raised the land by 8 feet. And then there's Christchurch and their earthquakes. They had a 6 or so about 3 years ago. Then another huge one where 135 or so people died.

I remember in DGM (Digital Media) the class I had during the 6.4 which happened at 2:31 pm and geonet said the Earthquake was 6.9 then 6.2 it move 44km south-east at one point and the depth kept changing.

THe last major one that was about 3 or 4 weeks ago I was in the middle of a 7x7 solve, which a abandoned.

If there's one thing I learnt after living through earthquakes responsibly for destroying my city and killing 180 people in the process, it's that there's nothing funny about living in an earthquake zone :s

the thing about that is: you think this could be the big one.

Ya good luck living with that in the back of your mind constantly for the next few years >.< (And I'm not exaggerating). I feel sorry for my Mum though, only a few weeks ago she moved back to Wellington after living in Christchurch since 2009 XD

At least Wellington isn't a swamp and built to withstand Earthquakes. The though of this could be the be one I find happens when a big one hits. One that geonet says is serve

The WCA should put in some rules regarding earthquakes during inspection time.
