Thanks folks. Luckily there has been no loss of life, and only two serious injuries, probably due to the time the quake occurred.

The epicenter of the quake was about 40km (25 miles) from my home. It was a very strong quake, and not a fun way to wake up at 4.35am! There is quite a lot of damage, but luckily the majority (95%) of residential property (including mine) is ok. The aftershocks are still going on, and even for someone who has grown up with quakes I'm getting a bit sick of it.

Thanks again for your thoughts!
