(grin!) I’m good so far, up here in the Waitakere Ranges. Could be I’ll have waterfront property by morning but!

I’m pretty sure Shaggy didn’t feel it either.

I know from traveling to New Zealand a number of times that the North Island is still highly active volcanically and the South Island is not, but the whole country sits astride one branch of the Ring of Fire.

How common is this sort of quake activity so far south? I have friends and a distributor based in little old Oamaru and expect that town would not do well in a tsunami situation.

PS: IMHO, NZ is still, acre for acre, the most beautiful spot on Planet Earth.
