    The area between Haast and Murchison has not moved in a long time, at the Geonet conference they held here in Wanaka they said we can expect a 4 meter split in height and a 40 meter shift horizontal

    Think that will wreck our home and prolly knock Suzy over too.
    Bye bye almost all buildings in SI. Last I'd heard (some years ago) we were waiting for a magnitude 8 but either way (I know there is a 100 fold increase in energy from 8 to 9) we are screwed. Just hope I'm not at work, 6th story (of 7) of a building in the CBD of Chch, with the high probability of liqufaction in the area it aint gonna be pretty.

    You'll be sweet, when it has stopped shaking and liquafying you will probably be able to step straight out onto the ground

    It will bring us out of recession, a good natural disaster, rebuild on the insurance companies ... beats a war.

    It is a scary thought of the grunt we will have thrust upon us and we will get thrown around like rag dolls at that.

    Not only that, they also use a very soft rubber compound which allows them to squirm.... Were even quite scary on my KX125 while riding the real Desert Storm trail ride way back in the day (you know the original one following the tank tracks not too many months after the LaHaar....). Also had to change the air filter after day 1 because of all the ash, Luckily I took a spare one pre oiled.
