STUNO Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Some of you will already know that the south of New Zealand has been hit by a huge earthquake a few hours ago. I live a long way away so am not affected, but any of you who have relatives or friends in the Christchurch area may wish to try to contact them. Communications might be difficult though. First reports are showing considerable numbers of buildings destroyed, and hospitals are reporting casualties arriving, but NO death reported yet.
ashmicro Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Cheers Stuno. My cuz lives in Christchurch, will give him a call now.
dollywobbler Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Hasn't Negative Creep just got to the top of NZ? Wise move!

Negative Creep Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Hasn't Negative Creep just got to the top of NZ? Wise move!Yes I think I timed that rather well. The place I was living in got hit rather badly Everyone I know down there is fine though and taking it in the usual light hearted Kiwi way
fotorabia Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 hey NC ..thought of your mates as soon as i heard..glad everything is ok..shame about the Datsun!..friends of mine on FB going is everything ok,,and im like..ah..im in scotland..and considering i lived in Whanganui..i think my crew were far enough away from the epicentre..
Negative Creep Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Apparently about $5000 of damage to that 260, I'm not sure if it's insured though............... I would also guess that living in a van would be one of the best places to be sleeping during an earthquake. Presuming you aren't parked under anything heavy all you'll get is a lot of shaking and at the very worst it tips over. Friend in Nelson had some very minor damage and apparently it was felt up to New Plymouth so you may just of caught it. A few pics from various FB pages
STUNO Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 What happens to roads. Hirst was last seen leaping from his cab and running
Negative Creep Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Also found out that Datsun isn't insured either...........
