Christchurch earthquakes

[dangerous]

we have decided that it's time to pack our bags and move. I have very mixed feelings about leaving Christchurch and there's a sense of abandoning ship,

abandonship my arse, shit man ya owe chch sfa... all the best from me with ya move get up there and enjoy

Getting the fuck out of the red zone tomorrow.

Now that I've finished pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick to buy a house, and even though I haven't sorted selling the one in the red zone yet, I've got time to feel for the poor bastards in the green/blue zone who are still waiting for answers and can't do anything.

In some ways red zoning sucks, in other ways it makes life a shitload easier.

Yep, have a flat that's on TC3 land, the guy from EQC that was around the other day was making not very encouraging noises about the subsidence and liquefaction. Thankfully it's still rentable, cos I can't see it getting fixed any time soon.

Still waiting for EQC land assessment....yeah our category is the too hard basket.....might know sumthing in 5 years do you reckon?....

still got tenants in mine too-paying a pittance but hey!as you know its well f.....! & I am truly thankful I don't live in it anymore !!

[Oakie]

We are on Green/Blue but fortunately we have no fixing requiring doing anything in the ground (except the driveway but that's not going to be a problem).

Is it strange that i MOVED to christchurch?
for work obviously.
I feel sorry for those who don't have insurance, met one guy the other day, sad story

Its funny , we had a 6.8 the other night , epi centre not far from me , phones screaming their heads off
I was in a fairly modern building, and didnt fee a thing

Tell you one thing for sure though , they say we will have a big one , soon , I was chatting with a self defence ranking officer , the other day , he was telling me about the plans if the big one hits tokyo ,,,,

not buildings you need to worry about , fire is the thing they were training for ..... yuk I hate fire and as for my wee house , its light and modern and is surprisingly bendy ,,,

One thing for sure these after shocks are getting "old news " the gloss has definatly gone ,,,,,

I will be over in chch next week , be an experience thats for sure ,,,,,
