Christy Clemmins is one lucky fuck! She was on the roof when that building fell.
[QUOTE=Monty Pie-thon;28203335]:gonk: I have a friend living there, i hope to the god i don't believe in he's ok.[/QUOTE] Ditto this. Although I'm not THAT worried about him. I'm certain his power is out though, he hasn't been online for like two days now. 65 dead is horrific compared to last time. But I'm betting it was due to the time of day, not the magnitude. =[

6.3 is pretty intense. When I was about 7 we had an earthquake that measured a 6.8 in some regions. Where I was at we got hit with a quick ~6.2 then allot of 2.3 aftershocks. Destroyed our chimney and septic system. $50,000 to fix all of it. Take care of yourselves. Edit; Found my earthquake. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Nisqually_earthquake[/url]

Mother Nature likes its New Zealand Shaken, not stirred. [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] Why did they build a city on a fault line?

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;28205594]found out that my grandma who lives in christchurch is ok. i feel for anyone that still doesn't know about their friends/families situation[/QUOTE] Update on my friend, he's fine. His house is wooden and virtually undamaged, but his neighbours in brick houses had walls collapse and such. Quote unquote: [i]Apparently my mother WAS on the toilet when it happened. xD[/i]
I am certain I am the only New Zealander that doesn't give the [i]slightest hint[/i] of a fuck. Facebook is covered with messages related to it.

If you have and you still don't give a fuck, you're just another heartless person. I don't go filling Facebook with messages about how much I care, but that doesn't mean I don't care.

I guess I've been desensitized because the [i]only[/i] kinds of stories on 3 news and One news goes like this: *Serious tone* TONIGHT ON 3 NEWS 6 PEOPLE ARE INJURED AND A FATHER OF 4 DEAD AFTER AN ARMED ROBBERY AT A GREY LYNN LIQUOR STORE *cut to crying relative* "I just can't see how someone can do that, what are to do? To just take a life like that, in grey lynn of all places, it's just unthinkable." A 16 year old Maori male was arrested in connection to the event, but no charges have been laid, and name supression has been granted.

I'm in Australia and all the channels were playing footage no-stop for about 2 hours after it happened
Phew relatives are all safe and sound.
Why does the Earth all of a sudden hate Oceania? [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] I mean, fires in the west of Aus, mass flooding on the east of Aus, and now this?
I wouldn't open a can of coke over there for at least a few days.

Do geography or something because the fault line is on the opposite side of the South Island which is quite far from Christchurch.
