Hi Martin :)

Everyone was fine. Way off shore so no threat to us humans. The media as usual dramatised things a fair bit. It has been a week now and they are still receiving aftershocks. We are not feeling them where we are. We only felt the 2 bigger ones.

Here is the Wiki entry for your interest.
