We got evacuated today because of the 6.2 earthquake.  That has now been updated to a 6.6 earthquake. It shook hard enough that many of the probates fell on the floor.  We were able to get them off of the floor but then had to immediately leave.  The whole city of Wellington appeared to be leaving.  There were sirens going almost constantly as fire engines and police were going to areas that needed assistance.  We were able to make it back to our apartment without much delay.  Hopefully we will be able to return on Monday.  There has already been a number of after shocks as you can see by the one pictured above, others have also reach the 5.0 range.  We felt one here in Porirua just a few minutes ago.  There has now been an after shock of 6.2 and a 5.7, there have been more than 25 after shocks within the last 5 hours.
