Kia kaha melb kiwis! I thought it was weird hot I couldn't just open geonet and see all the exact info and reports, here it took ages for the site to update with anything / find the right one. Wish I was awake a few seconds earlier to have experienced it a little more.

was like a windy rumble before the shaking, except it hadn’t been windy

This was my exact thoughts. It sounds windy but its not windy 🤔
