(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. |

What a horrific disaster for you and your countrymen. One can only hope you stay safe and that critical services and are restored as quickly as possible. Our thoughts are with all of you.
