So did the earth move for you?

[bowdlerizer]

7.4 earthquake in my hometown chchboom. Lots of structural damage, mostly to older building facades and chimbleys. So far all my fambly are fine, apart from one cut thumb and some lack of power (and given that they are the younger cousins, they prolly don't have water or food either). Friends are coming online and are saying "shit, that was scary, but we're ok" but I'd really like to hear from a few more.

Phew.

Oh. And there have been reports of looting already. You stay classy chch.
