The earth moves hard

Yesterday, the earth shook hard. It was a 5 but at a shallow level. Yes, it was on the news website in half an hour. Some people are really scared. I can understand that, I mean I stood there wondering if it might be the 7.1 quake. It really felt strong.

The 'big' shocks happened once every 4 to 5 days. Don't know when it will stop but I guess it will keep shaking for the next few weeks.

Some houses and buildings lost power because of the shock. I actually don't know how I would feel, if the quake had damaged the house and everything I have. My heart goes out to those who lost their home and everything they own.

Guess we never expected a large quake in Christchurch huh..

Just imagine when you lost everything, you have to start all over again, buying log furniture for the house and the garden. Sigh it cost a lot to rebuild everything.
