Spoke too soon. We've had a 5.8 and 6 today - those are quite large. I was in the car in town for the first one. The car started rocking and we could hear bricks tumbling from buildings behind us. I think it was from closed off buildings and there are no reports of injury.
I just saw that on the news NZ. Instantly thoughts were of you and the family. Glad to hear you are ok, lets hope they settle down soon or at least give you Christmas off.
