Yet another christchurch disaster / ChristChurch Earthquake
Just when they thought it was all safe, it all turned over. It was lunchtime, so many people were out and about, not like the Sep 4 quake. Also, it was much shallower, 5ks under rather then the last one at 15-20 kms deep. Post your thoughts.

Superstition. It's only increased tectonic activity.
Chris and Jon, are you okay?

Oh gosh, I forgot about them
Seriously, someone out there must hate Earth. Or the Tectonic plates are dancing. I dunno, but we take life for granted sometimes.

Jon and Chris live in Wellington, not Christchurch, so we're all okay.
Mind you, one of my buddies live down there and their house is destroyed.

Uh... once again, we weren't affected :3
Telemachus was though - I placed a comment on one of his projects yesterday, and he replied:
Family and friends are all ok- we just hope most everyone else is alright. Power is on and off at the moment, hopefully things will settle down soon.
Hope everything is okay for him...

O_o Hope they're alright 
We also have some friends down there - we don't know if they're alright or not, we haven't heard from them yet...

I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Yet another christchurch disaster / ChristChurch Earthquake
Last year in newzealand there was a 7.1 earthquake wich destroyed loads of buildings. But fortunatly, noone died. But just yesterday a 6.3 struck in the middle of the day. it was about 5 times as big as last years because it was closer to us. 70 people are dead and 100s trapped in buildings. I was at school outside when it happened, andim probably the first person to do parkour in an earthquake :I The ground was tilted to like 45 degrees and everything was shaking, and cracks were opening up on the ground, spouting water everywhere. like 2012, litterely...
theres no water, and the roads are caved in with buildings crumbled. My houses wall fell off aswell.
If you want to see the damage look at this:
