Big earthquake hits South Island
A large (7.1 on ye olde Richter scale) earthquake hit the South Island of NZ at midnight last night, just off the mouth of Doubtful Sound. Power off in a few places near Te Anau (where we met), pictures off walls, etc. We didn't feel it ourselves in Christchurch (Evie was snoring too loudly), but exciting none the less!
