@Donsteppa you are an anti-end-of-the-worlder aren't you, I can just tell.
I'm prepared, I have my
ZombieTrumpSuper Moon apocalypse pack handy!I'll go and get another vaccination and drink a glass of fluoridated water that day.

@Donsteppa bet you drive an old V8, punch kittens and babies too don't you!

I'd give Alan B'stard a run for his money...

@MN5 Not joking, but there are actually comments on the herald saying it's the governments fault.
I don't find that too hard to believe

Yeah, would be good if nature could settle the fuck down.

I'm fairly certain that's at Pinnacle Rock. Looks like it will take some time to clear - that's a sizeable slip. Hopefully everyone else is safe and sound.

Bloody hell.... almost worth blasting back as far as you can and setting up some form of barrier.
Geologically NZ is quite young. Over here we have the odd shake - I have never experienced earthquaker - but its a damn sight flatter, generally speaking.
Geologically Australia is boring as batshit. Nothing ever really happens. NZ on the other hand, dynamic as fuck - a Geologist's dream. Right on the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plate. Earthquakes, volcanoes, nowhere is safe. Good times!

The poor Olds had to evacuate in the middle of the night, thankfully able to head to high ground in jville. I see ferner chowie had to sit in a car in strathmore. Sucks. Sounds like no major damage to anyone I know thankfully!
the closest anyone will ever get to seeing these words in a sentence.

Well maybe some good will come out of this and a decent road from the top of the SI will be built. The Kaikoura Rd can then be cleared for a tourist route only.
Lyttleton Harbour's profits are going to take a jump for a while I guess while all road and rail freight to ChCh has to go by sea instead. Expect high petrol prices in the SI for some time. -

Thank goodnees Ritchie is there!
That is a massive hunk of pasture wiped out. Pretty much unfixable in terms of cost vs return.
That really is an incredible picture.
