Thanks @B.I.B. Nope, not at all ... the swing was quite scary though ... I was sleeping at that time Monday 00:02 and my wife woke me up .. and it lasted like 1-2 minutes ... felt very very long time. The following day I did check the house, including the roof, luckily nothing damage found

But some friends of mine' properties got slight damage, not major. Mind you Wellington is about 200 kms away from the epicentre of the first (the biggest) earthquake 7.8 .... can't imagine Kaikoura and Seddon ..... and Christchurch is about 125 kms away

Plus frigates Wellington , Te Kaha, supply ship Endeavour Australian ship Darwin. Canadian ship HMCS Vancover and the USS Sampson.

Its amazing that there is going to be a demonstration by people of the anti military org, who are demonstating against the presence of foreign warships in our waters using their helicopters evacuate the stranded population to their ships and transporting them to Christchurch.

It makes one wonder if they have a brain

Some China bashers complained that China paid our air-force to rescue Chinese tourists, stranded in the area.

Well I used to fly through the front yard at the farm! I fly a little higher than I used too, my rule used to be a shallow approach, throttle open at 500ft to full accelerating to about 140+ with a fairly steep hard pull at the end, two passes, and two passes only!

I throttled up on the decent because many power failures occur as you "jam" the throttle open when you are low and bleeding energy. The throttle up on decent made sure that you had some altitude, I would gradually feed in throttle to full, and didn't have to worry about getting slow, of engine failure at 100 ft or less.



I have a private license so other than aerial photography, there wasn't much profit involved, although you can share expenses.

The largest recorded earthquake to have hit New Zealand rocked Wellington and the Wairarapa at 9:11pm, on 23 January 1855. The earthquake measured 8.2 on the Richter scale and was centred in the south-west Wairarapa along the Wairarapa Fault, about 25 kilometres from Wellington. The violent shake was felt as far away as Canterbury.

I bet you are glad you weren't around then.
Depending on how you looked at it, you could say Mondays quake was good news. No more big quakes in the Wellington area for another 150yrs.
