Yeah I heard that the epicentre was only about 6kms away from Christchurch city centre. I've already seen some pictures on the news of damage. Brough back memories of the Newcastle quake years ago. Hope everyone and the sheep are ok.

If you feel just the shaking it's probably not that dangerous or immediately dangerous

however

If you feel the ground or floor literally moving rapidly in all direction horizontally you are most probably in immediate danger

If you feel the ground or floor literally moving in all direction INCLUDING vertically the building will most probably collapse.

Looking at the damage in NZ you can say they're blessed that nobody was killed. Good thing. To me Australians and New Zealanders are among the warmest people. Heck no wonder because they are listed as being among the happiest nations on the planet :D

I wonder if this is a precursor to Australia's planned invasion?

:hmmm:

Naw it was probably just the HAARP Earthquake Gun missing Iran again... :haha:
