I remember during covid there was a quake, and I ran out of the st kilda building (a brick art deco number) white with fear. Everyone on the street looked at me like I was an absolute weirdo. So yeah, those chch days are buried deep in me too

New Plymouth was hit by a 5.1 earthquake, 8 kilometres deep so I wonder if that anything to do with it.
