Rolleston/Burnham, South Island, NZ It's been a busy few weeks! Was away on geology fieldtrips all the previous two weeks, then on Saturday morning 4th September 2010 at 4.35 am we got woken in Westport to a reasonable but very long earthquake. My husband was back in Christchurch at the time and texted me saying "are you ok?". I replied, "yes!"...
Horrible earthquake on the morning of 4 SEP 2010. Felt throughout New Zealand... Aftershocks still ongoing weeks after the 7.1M earthquake.
