I might sound like a nasty kiwi but Christchurch had it coming to them, they gave us north islanders flak when our power went down in the major city Auckland for 6 days, people weren't allowed to flush their toilets or take showers, hospitals were on emergency power, people died, the man in charge of the power had a major heart attack & dropped dead his wife said he just couldn't take the stress of having the finger pointed at him. The Christchurch south islanders never let us forget that our major city was down for 6 days. We use to say your day will come Christchurch is on the earthquake fault line dead centre.

Though im glad no one died from this earthquake as that wouldn't of been funny just many of their precious buildings will have to be destroyed, roads and water supply is down.

So yes what is funny is they will have to crap in a bucket for the next few days.

Strange but us North islanders would rather Aussies has our neighbors than those blardy south islanders.

Can't understand why you'd think wanting us as neighbours as strange.

I take that back what i said, its worse than i thought we got plenty of homeless southerners wandering round and whats worse is they expecting heavy rain for the next week. I at first thought it was just the lost of buildings and there sewage system is down but those you can easily replace/fix. Some Southerners have lost everything.

More aftershocks today. One of 5.2 magnitude. Looks like they are having a rough time of it over the ditch.

Yes there's been a few aftershocks, the latest one i think is the 5.2 you mentioned that was only 6 miles down. One chap just finish building his brand new home got to live in it for 4 days before it fell to bits, house is now condemned. Plenty of stories like that one, then there's the water problem they had to ship drinking water from wellington by trucks and to finish it off they got looters!

A friend who's a builder by trade and out of work has loaded up his truck and headed off to Christchurch there be plenty of work for the next couple of years so tradesmen are needed. Total costs to rebuild the city is at 2 billion so far.

Christchurch was built on sand and is directly sitting on the EQ fault line.
