Earthquake

We have heard that there was an earthquake last night in Gisborne NZ. It was a 6.8 on the Ricther Scale. We live about 2 1/2 hours north of Gisborne and did not feel anything. We actually heard about the Earthquake from Americans who were asking us if we were okay or if we had felt anything. We did not hear about it from New Zealand news, though we are not great at getting the news here! It happened at 8:55 Thursday evening, Joe was with some guys and I was hanging out with a friend, it was a beautiful night and neither one of us remember even feeling tremors! We looked it up to check it out and it looks like the town was hit pretty bad. Thanks for your concern!
