How goes it Mike? The rest of you on that side of the world? Looks like another strong quake in New Zealand, keeping you guys and gals in our thoughts. [smiley=hug.gif]

Christchurch got two fairly large quakes yesterday, a 5.8 and then 80 minutes later a 6.0, followed up by multiple aftershocks over 4.0.
Luckily nobody was killed and less than a handful of people hurt, but it'll have a big impact on people as the aftershocks from the big one were fading away (they've had several thousand in the last year). It's estimated that the city will lose over 10% of it's population as people just can not face living in the area. Ironically the area will go through a huge construction boom with billions of dollars to be spent replacing damaged infrastructure but this can not start until the aftershocks have stopped. Each time there are quakes like this it will push the start of the rebuild back three months or so. However don't get the idea that NZ as a whole is a disaster zone. The problems are only in one small area of the country. New Zealand is one amazing place to live in or to visit. |

Read about this today.
This is more than aftershocks, I guess. We're glad you're all right but you are on the other island? Charlie |
