Re: CHCH Quake and aftershocks

Hi Quads,

 

I heard about the latest quakes on the news this morning.  They said some structures that were deemed still safe after the main quake have now been damaged by these latest two to the point of being beyond repair.  I imagine you have probably decided to just keep everything on the floor........

 I feel considering the positioning point of where they live; " At the Crosshair of four Techtonic Plates beneath them"- That are deciding all too move again, I feel sorry for them knowing there is still a bumpy road ahead of them too!...:smileysurprised:

Now a 30% - 32% chance of another 6.0 to 6.9 magnitude shake for us in the next year.

 

Another 5.0 shake this morning

 

Now seen as one of the most unusual Earthquake sequences known Worldwide.
