The rest of the 'Oceana Rim' seem to be suffering the "aftershocks". Aparently it was only 4kilometers below the surface and 10 kilometers from the city centre...... http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/...145823.htm Interactive map of the quake zone.... http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/today "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest."

Problem is the volcanos are next. ....That is one volitile part of the planet next to Indonesia. Apparently there were earthquakes (very minor) recorded on the Australian mainland and in Bass strait. Looks like California copped a backlash as well.
Gee... I hope everyone's OK, there have been 17 confirmed deaths..  Sorry...make that 65 At least 65 die in Christchurch quake New Zealand Prime Minister John Key says the death toll from the Christchurch earthquake has reached 65, and it is too early to say how far it could rise. http://au.news.yahoo.com/christchurch-earthquake "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest."

I've been watching about it in horror. Apparently many of the deaths are from a building which pancaked.
An idiot reporter took the biscuit for most fuckwitted question in recent memory: he asked some poor bloke who had just been pulled out of that building :"How did you feel when that happened?" The bloke responded,with eloquent understatement: "Not Good" 
Why would God do this to people?
... I hope everyone is okay though ... theVoid too.

I'm fine thanks for all your concern, lots of poor buggers out there weren't so lucky.

Glad to hear you're ok V, where where you when it hit?
@ Ib.me it is neither good or bad, it just is(speaking objectively) Speaking subjectively, it's a disaster. ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71. |
