Big New Zealand Earthquake Struck Just 26 Hours Before Exact Moment of "Extra-Super Moon"!!! Should They Have Been Warned???There Were 14,000 Felt Reports There, Too!!! None From Epicenter Region.

I had to go back and look up all this information, but here's what I found: Exact Moment of "Extra-SuperMoon" was November 14 7:54am Central Time and New Zealand Earthquake was November 13, 5:02am Central Time. Therefore New Zealand shook just over 24 Hours before Exact Moment, but you probably know for extra measure I always add just a few hours and so I'm not kidding when I say it looks like it was about exactly 26 Hours, and 52 Minutes before the exact moment!!! I think I use about 30 Hours for technical detailed stuff. . . but right now is a good time for it!!!

At the same time I went back to 1926 and checked THAT "Extra Super-Moon" and found Exact Moment 1:12am Central Time on January 26, 1948, and THAT Big 7.8 Richters Philippines Earthquake/Tsunami was 3:46am Central Time on January 25, 1948 or about 21 Hours Before!!! Even seen somewhere in my reading/studies earlier on Tuesday, that there's some talk of WHY nobody notified New Zealand folks that there might have been some danger involved with the "Extra-Super Moon"!!! Answer I saw was no way to predict it would have meant an earthquake!!!

The Big New Zealand Earthquake has now officially been upgraded to a 7.8 although previously not known worldwide at that, it was a 7.8 according to USGS who upgraded it themselves a few hours after it struck and now GeoNet-New Zealand has also upgraded it:

And here's a few of the biggest aftershocks also I found on that website directly from New Zealand where that big one had upwards of 14,000 Felt Reports and far too many to be able to figure out a way to display all of that on Earthquake Central, so here's those other aftershocks:

Here's a Great STORY directly from New Zealand with all the updates on everything that's going on there: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/nov/16/new-zealand-earthquake-help-stranded-kaikoura-live

Well you probably already seen the pic of those cows that were trapped atop that big "Rock" that was formed when all the land around them subsided. Farmer was not able to rescue them immediately due to the dangers that still remained as the result of all the aftershocks there. As soon as they felt it was practical to perform a rescue, they dumped a load of gravel near the hill and made into a ramp then walking the stranded cows down to the newly settled ground about 20 feet below them. One other interesting story was about a guy who was awoken by the shaking, moved to a doorway for protection and when the jolting became extreme was forced to run naked out into the street! Of course he ran back in as soon as it was possible and retreived some clothes. Notes say not sure how relevant that last story was, but there you have it!!! EQ Guy
