Wellington Beltway about to slide into the Kaikoura Trench with a bit of luck!

Still moving 90 minutes later - lights swinging at 1555.

Damned good shake over this way too. Unlike the normal ones that come through in one direction, this was all over the show; you could feel the waves coming at different angles. Not pleasant at all.

KS, normally miss most quakes here right up against the solid mass of the Ruahines. Having a 50Km deep wall of rock adjacent has its benefits. This was the worst and longest we'd felt in 15 years.
