First, we're all good, no damage etc. Second: shaken awake by a fierce 5.8 quake this morning. That was quite something! 〰️

5.8 quake on 2024-10-06 at 05.10.43. 33 Km deep, 25 Km west of Wellington.

@Miraz not a pleasant way to greet the day. Especially after you wake enough to realize what is actually happening. Glad to hear no damage and no injury.

@chrisheck There are better wake-ups for sure. 😀

@cheribaker Quakes are normal in these parts, but that was a big shake! Folks visiting next door were in their car and gone within two or three minutes. I’m assuming they were from overseas…

@alexandra It was definitely a wake-up! 😆

@Miraz I'm glad you're all okay! I'm sure you're pretty used to it over there, but it still must be pretty startling, especially when you were fast asleep.

@jayeless Yeah, quite a bit of the startle factor. Thanks.
