[Gareth]

[Knox The Hatter]

Gareth, please, don't leave us hanging. Please tell us of your experiences!

 

[AmericaRocks]

Ohhh! I heard about that!

Sounds scary.

 

[Gareth]

yea good thing it was at 4.35 in the morning so no-one died but its not the sort of thing i was expecting to wake up to

 

[AmericaRocks]

That's good.
Definitely not a nice awakening though..

 

[Gareth]

nd wats more nothing in my house was damaged except for a smashed pot plant, i drove around earlier 2 day nd i saw the extent of the damage

 

[Gareth]

shit just had an aftershock

 

[AmericaRocks]

Aftershocks happen this late after an earthquake?

lol for someone from California, I really know nothing about earthquakes.

 

[Gareth]

lol the news said the aftershocks can last up to a month

 

[AmericaRocks]

oh woww. haha that's a long time. In all earthquakes or just big ones like the one you had (I'm guessing 7.1 is big lol)?

 

[Gareth]

lol 7.1 is bigger than the haiti earthquake but idk if all aftershocks last this long, i hope it stops

 

[AmericaRocks]

Ohh, wow, that's definitely big.
I hope it stops too, that sucks!

Glad to hear that you are okay. Not much News about this one, although we receive updates on Haiti.

7.1 in New Zealand: nobody dies

7.0 in Haiti: 90.000 to 230.000 dead

I suppose it'd be a good idea to let New Zealanders do the rebuilding in Haiti.
