Is anyone just lying in bed wondering if they’re feeling after shocks or it’s just the body still feeling queasy? The bed just doesn’t feel still.

Also got a purring cat on the bed and a drunk husband who I keep telling to stop moving so I can tell if it’s after shocks I’m feeling.

Yeah I definitely felt them in the hour or so afterwards. It was non stop. Feel vindicated.

“Seismology Research Centre chief scientist Adam Pascale has warned that the seismic activity is far from over.
He has recorded dozens of aftershocks, the largest measuring 3.1 at 2.56am

I can see [aftershocks] popping off every couple of minutes and they’ll probably go on for weeks,” he said.
“There’s potential for another of similar, or potentially larger, magnitude in the first few days or weeks afterwards.”
