There's not a lot of interest I can supply. We walked to the local petrol station for some milk earlier and you wouldn't know anything had happened. We saw one twisted fence, a few hairline cracks across the road and a couple of damaged chimneys. Here are a few snaps I took of our place, plus a seismographic drum recording (where it's red they've clipped the reading to prevent it obscuring the rest of the image). http://www.multi.net.nz/quake/ I'll try and see what I can get from the CBD on Monday. It does look pretty dangerous and there are likely to be several roads closed depending on what the building engineers say. They've declared a State of Emergency and have set a curfew tonight from 7pm to 7am. All licensed [for liquor] premises have been closed. The aftershocks are still annoying me and they'll be continuing for another couple of days. I'd be thinking about moving to Australia if it wasn't for the snakes & spiders.
