New Zealand Earthquake

Postby GTFO. fission_chips » 10 Sep 2010, 22:53

Some of you may have already heard about this on the news, but it seems to have dropped off a little because no one died!

Found a cool map at http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/ it shows the original 7.1 earthquake from last Friday and then each aftershock. Some fairly savage shaking going on. I've got quite a few family members living there including my brother. Pretty sure Gash's brother lives there as well.

woah :shock:
But a fault line does run right through the middle of NZ though, so it's bound to happen from time to time. It's really amazing that no one died

Thanks for posting Fission. My other half - Bat Guano is a Kiwi and was very interested to hear how things were getting on since the quake...so sad t see some of those gorgeous old building demolished. Do you know what the plans are for the cathedral? Are they tearing it all down?
yes I am a girl, yes I am blonde, and yes that was me shooting you....
