How many more earthquakes can that place withstand. God bless them.

didn't even feel it lol

Have a friend in the next town over from CC. But, his sister lives there. Just checked on him. Haven't heard back yet.

Can understand why hundreds of New Zealanders a week are moving over here!
There was a 5.5 and a 5.8 yesterday south of Tassie, wonder if they disturbed the fault lines?

Wasnt that bad.

Hope you are not too shaken down there guys.

Nope, will take a bit more than a 5.2 to phase us in Christchurch that's the 40th 5+ we've had.

you are starting to think that is the NORM, aren't you?

that's when you get caught out!
