South Island Earthquake

I woke up this morning to emails asking if we felt the earthquake in the South Island. We did not feel a thing and I didn't even know about it until I got the emails. There has been a lot about it on the news though. The initial earthquake was centered very far south in the South Island. It was a 7.8 quake which is the strongest quake in NZ in 78 years. NZ gets 10,000 to 15,000 quakes a year. Most of them are south of Auckland so we have not felt one yet. Sounds like there was some minor structural damage with the quake last night but nothing major. So, all safe in Auckland!
