Quake Watch 2010

Nothing above 3.0 in New Zealand since the 4.4 yesterday morning (24hrs ago), just a trio of 2's.

Found one that wasn't listed yesterday, 0.5 km east of Woodstock, Nelson, in the Dove River Valley, which runs into the Motueka Valley. Wasn't reported as felt.

3 day supply at least.
I don't drink any more but the Speights would come in handy for trading with the other survivors

OMG I nearly forgot the most important thing!

A lighter!

And a .22 (for protecting our property and sniping some sheep and that annoying possum on our roof)....

To all our fellow seismo-surfers - if me and Muzzy disappear from the forum you might consider a new "breaking news" thread as NZ probably went under..
