[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 824199, member: 20605"] We had just gone to bed but was still awake when we felt the swaying motion; like someone gently pushing the bed back and forth. Then it stopped, and I had enough time to think "small tremor" before it started up again, this time really shaking. I got straight out of bed, it was difficult to stand up. The floor was swaying back and forth at a frequency of about 1 second (½ sec in each direction) and it went on for about a minute. It was very frightening, the house was creaking and rattling and a few books fell out of book shelves but no damage to the house. When I got to work (in Richmond, about 10km from my home) I found a few things fallen off shelves, but pretty much no other damage Got off lightly I think! Others no so lucky down the East Coast of the South Island; two deaths. [/QUOTE]
