   Yeah, I read that, nice humorous little read and description as always 
with you Phil.

     Heh, yeah, I noticed that. GMTV were *pleading* with anyone that might 
have good footage of anything that happened around them. Erm, yeah, I'll 
just whip out the video camera, wipe the sleep from my eyes, and shoot a 
house falling down in the street at 1am - all in 10 seconds.  ;)

    What I'm wondering though, is quite a few reports mentioned differing 
effects and noises with the quake, so I'm wondering if quite a few faults 
were involved with this one, or would it have been a much bigger quake if 
that was the case? Hmm...
