(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. |

Wow! That is serious. Hopefully the government gets their game together quickly to restore essentials.

Wow! That is serious. Hopefully the government gets their game together quickly to restore essentials. Cairo thanks ,after the tragic events of 2011 in the south island city of Christchurch the government are very quick to act on these disasters,just read they have a temporary link open on an inland route so the 2 halfs of the island are now linked with road transport,people stranded in the remote area's air being airlifted out,the interisland ferries are anchored in the bay in our north island capital city Wellington,the loading ramps and roads to them are badly damaged so they can't dock to discharge freight. Pic below shows one of the ferry loading ramp snapped in half. Heavier aftershocks are now gone so we just get the small ones which are getting harder to notice. |
