Sure looks like God is pissed off at New Zealand. . .
Not sure if the NZ Maoris have him but maybe its, Tangaroa banging around ;) I only really know of him from Rarotonga... but they're all kinda polynesian related.
Spec
I suspect it's the settlers/interlopers causing any offence to Heaven, more so than the natives. . . but who knows?
Pretty crappy. First that big one off ChCh a few years back, now a bigger one just N of NI. . .
I'm on trhe ring of fire, too, but only felt one earthquake in my life -- a 3.2 from south of me, in the USA. I thought my cat was pulling/scratching at the back of my old chair, rocking me, until I remembered I junked that chair & was in a very solid metal frame non-rockin chair.
Whereabouts are you , relative to this last earthquake, & did you feel it?
