Quake!

7.4 magnitude, 30 km west of Christchurch. All are well.

Ira reports he doesn't like the big rumbles, he likes the little rumbles best.

Minor damage only at our place. Power's on here, internet was down for a while. Paul Walker (Antidismal) reports power out at his place.

No tsunami warnings.

Good morning!
