sharronpaul Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 oh yes, was woken by it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Felt it here in Stratford, only gentle, but enough to rock the tanks. Went for while so I guess it was big someplace. Nothing on Geonet yet, but they usually have the details there pretty quick. http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/recent_quakes.html Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Anne Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I got sent into a wall too :roll: was just going to bed. Now I will have to keep checking my tanks for leaks all night as I live above shops. Water on the floor but my only casualties was that a female guppy got in with the baby albino guppies and may have had some midnight snacks. Oh, and I broke a nail.

Julie Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hate earthquakes, not good when the shop alarm goes off. Only a little bit of water on the floor ( 2 towels) from 40 tanks. 1 test kit and 1 pot of fish food fell over. All the birds are safe. The poor Alex was a little wide eyed. At home 1 cat that was asleep near the fish tank got a rude shock as he got quite wet, another cat is still under the bed, number 3 thinks it's great that mum is up to play with her,a few things fell over but we and our beloved pets are all fine. Many thanks to Keri-anne for comming to the shop incase we needed help with any clean up. :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Many thanks to Keri-anne for comming to the shop incase we needed help with any clean up. :bounce: :bounce: Just glad we didn't have to play "Save the corals" or re-home tank loads of fish. Hope that Discus is settled by morning. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ummmmmmm rehome the fish, I think you played that HELP game a couple of weeks ago when we lost power to the fish room. Thank goodness for Keri-anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 If that earthquake had happened near Auckland it would have been declared a national disaster and for weeks we'd be hearing about things like how it spilled some woman's chardonnay and a man was injured when he fell while climbing out a window carrying a TV.

supasi Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 was quite big here in Wangas one of my tanks spilled a bit off water. Wasnt loud, it actually made no noise but rolled though and went for a while. The tank that spilled was lenghtways to the quake so water sloshed length ways and over the end.

Keri Anne Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Clive hotel has had to close their kitchen due to a cracked gas main. Luckily the new head chef (On his first night no less) smelt the gas and stopped the idiot who was trying to light the gas. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
