Christchurch residents - what will you do?

Ah my bad, I thought heading to the hills was the option for fleeing an approaching tsunami, not relocating Christchurch. Definitely no to relocating ChCh up there.

The Port Hills are still standing?! No liquifaction there. A tiny number of houses hit by rocks, and sadly 2 people. The September epicentre was Darfield, not Yaldhurst, and the actual damage there was surprisingly light. Just look at how the Japanese buildings stood up to the quake and some even withstood the tsunami.

In fact many modern houses in Christchurch have survived both earthquakes. Shaken, twisted, cracks yes, but the structures did not collapse.

Many and by that I mean MANY... did not survive, for one just ask AdamB.

OAB, how are all those you know in Japan?

If all goes according to plan, our place up on Mt Pleasant will get knocked down and I can build my dream home.
And while another quake could happen any time, now the ground is stress relieved I won't be giving a toss in 500 years when the next one hits

Thanks dangerous. Luckily most people I know are based in Nagoya and south or west of there, so all are well.
