SooToday.com received the following note this morning from faithful reader Jennifer Avery.

Tsunami warnings issued after this morning's powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake there have since been cancelled.

************************* Hey I just wanted to comment on the story about the 7.8 earthquake in New Zealand.

I grew up in the Sault but am living in New Zealand, and I was in this earthquake.

It was crazy.

All the doors were swinging and banging open and shut, you could actually see the street moving like in waves.

There is a pool in the condos where I live, and all the water was sloshing out of the pool and all over.

Thank God no one has been hurt, and only minor damage apparently.
