That graph is quite interesting because it shows very few in Christchurch. I think it was totally unexpected to have one of that magnitude there. I guess we should point out to overseas readers that the great majority of the dots on that graph aren't even felt.

Many of us are very well aware about what went down in Xch & about the ongoing difficulties . We do hear about it regularly & know it's no laughing matter but as my kiwi friend said to us a week or so back , they need humour to get them through. They can't leave & wouldn't even if they could.
As you say , it is a great shame that you, like so many, feel the time comes when you need to leave. All good wishes for where you move on to next.

A long, long time ago when I was a child and I used to watch documentaries about volcanic zones and earthquake prone areas, I used to think to myself why would anyone live in a place like that and now we're desperately trying to get there
Natural disasters are the scariest things IMO, it's the total lack of control of the whole thing that's really scary.

Ahhh...the traditional Christchurch wakeup quake preparing us for another day in paradise . So much for that Ken Ring moon man on the telly saying that they would decrease in intensity .

Would have preferred it two hours laterAt least it was one of the rolling varieties rather than the 'train just hit the house over and over again' types. It was from out past Rolleston I believe.

My desk and monitor were swaying a bit in Wellington CBD a couple of weeks back.
