John Kettler Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I see from NEIC that Friday in and around Christchurch was a rather wrenching affair and wanted to make sure you Kiwis and your dear ones in the area are all safe. Please let us know. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't think we have any members from Christchurch. But anyway, there were no casualties from the tremor. One resident was slightly inconvenienced when his case of DB got broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 There wasn't much building damage - all hte dodgy ones were written off from February last year! And only 40 or so known minor injuries. Retailers suffered the most - having to close all the malls the day before Christmas! My sons are down there visiting both their sets of Grandparents, and are a bit nervous about it all - having been woken up on Christmas day by an aftershock as well. There seems to be an interesting progression for the source of the quakes - the September 2010 ones were inland from Christchurch, the February killer was more or less under the city, these ones were out in Pegasus Bay - so the epicentres have moved fairly significantly. Dunno if the movement itself is significant or not - hopefully it is, it continues, and hte quakes keep moving further away! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't think we have any members from Christchurch. . Think again . Was a nice wee rumble (followed by a not so nice rumble). I am sure some of the boys at work broke the 100m dash record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
