Earthquake


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Third party fire/theft will do for it.
