(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) About 12:02am it hit and centred a long way away from where I am,,reports indicate a 7.5,really intense and long lasting,reports vary from 1-2 minutes,we are now getting aftershocks often and really makes me sick to the stomach TBO.
I live in the south island of New Zealand and some of you will may remember a major town down south got totally wasted after 2 major shakes in (I think) 2011. The whole deal with these is there is nothing u can do really,in a storm you batten up the doors and windows,sandbag your driveway and /or move to higher ground,earthquakes offer little or no warning a shake or total destruction. I think that the California members on here can relate to this you have a similar problem. Reports coming are not got @ this stage but loss of life is minimal thank god. |

Thanks for the kind words, all I got a small crack in the kitchen wall that's all, we received around 6.6 apparently closer area's got the full impact of 7.5,I curse the fact I live by the beach and my house is build on concrete on top of sand at times (sand gets everywhere),however there is no question it dulls the jolts somewhat....less damage.
Friends in the nearby city report the jolts were very abrupt and stuff falling over . We have had so many aftershocks its hard to count since the main shake....just got another as typing this reply...sucks,frequency is 3 minutes to around 35 but very contant. I know I won't sleep well tonight as you kind of wait in a half sleep for the next one ...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |
