(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. |

My wife just told me we have two friends in New Zealand for the past two weeks....hope they are OK too. If they are in the north island they will be ok travel wise,in the south island they may be stuck if travelling by road,the passenger ferries that go between the islands aren't sailing,from the top of the south the rail link and the coastal and inland highways are out,possibly not reopening for many weeks/months due to massive damage. Saw a video of the east coast coastal highway,sections of train track have been picked up and thrown into the sea....unreal. The government is looking at shipping supplys into the main lower centres that are isolated by road and rail,many people are running out of essential food supplies and drinking water.
