7.06pm: While most people have been trying to keep warm in Wellington today, Happy Feet the Penguin got the chance to get outside and jump in the pool. Wellington Zoo says it was the same temperature outside as in Happy Feet's enclosure so they were able to let him play outside. The zoo says he went for a swim in his salt water pool - although it took a bit of encouragement to get him to swim as it doesn't look like the ocean. 6.30pm: Wellington Airport says the airport is open but the runway is closed. It says people can go to the airport but currently no planes can take off or land. However they are continually checking on the status of the runway to see if it can be reopened.

They'll pick up pieces of the environment like stalactites and toss them at you, or go to higher ground and jump down on you. No two fights with this arctic Yeti creature are the same. “Enemies are more challenging,” said Burch.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, released in 2007, forecasts an ice-free Arctic summer by the year 2100. However, the Arctic sea ice may be thinning four times faster than predicted, according to Pierre
CAN'T GO WRONG: Britain's Arctic Monkeys started out five years ago in a flurry of hype, which they not only survived but justified with several swaggering, sweaty rock records, including this summer's '70s-laced “Suck It and See.
Major disruptions are still affecting Christchurch Airport, and there have been no domestic flights in or out of the airport this morning. More than a hundred people are at the airport waiting for flights. 11.05am: The savagely arctic conditions

Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On: A Pajiba Guide To Getting Through ...
Coming less than 6 months after Japan, I don't think a little panic is unreasonable. 5.9 is kind of a big one.
I was bothered that on none of the cable channels I tuned to (for about 5 minutes) to see footage of actual damage or whatnot could I see mention of D.C., even though the epicenter was apparently in VA. It was all about NYC. Is the NY media really that egocentric? Or did I just not watch long enough? I'm still at work, so I can't stay glued to the tube for a great length of time.
I live in Washington DC, and frankly I think the East Coast overreaction is because for a second everyone thought this was a terrorist attack. I mean, you're in downtown DC in an office building working innocently when everything starts to shake. If your first thought isn't "bomb," then one of your coworkers is going to say it for you. I know the East Coast is acting all childish about this earthquake, but it always hurts my feelings a little bit when West Coast-ers sound patronizing. We all have problems. Today things rattled a little bit. But if you live in this environment where you go through security checkpoints to just use the bathroom or buy coffee at lunchtime, you find yourself on edge and waaaaaay too easily excitable. Be nice to us!
Would you make this kind of joke if a blizzard hit the west coast and no one knew what to do? Just because the first major earthquake in a long time on the east coast is close to a common occurence on the west coast does not give all you west coasters liberty to openly mock people who have never experienced an earthquake before. Do you laugh at your infants who start crying during their first earthquake or tourists who start to have panic attacks because everything is shaking around them? Cause I don't do it when west coasters visit Jersey and get stuck in a blizzard. It's cruel and insensitive.
I'm not saying you did this, Joanna, as most of your post was actually rather funny. I'm still pissed at some bloggers on Twitter who are retweeting every "what's happening? My desk was shaking and all the pictures fell off my walls. #sendhelp" tweets with snarky commentary. That's just cruel.
