Embracing mediocrity
Where I've moved to in the western burbs you wouldn't even know there'd been any earthquakes, and the council are resealing roads that are million times better than what I was driving over in east chch, life is getting worse for our former neighbors now that the diggers are starting up at 7am demolishing empty houses.
If the big one hits, I doubt it would be any worse than what we've already had, unless you live right on top of the main divide

I think he's meaing in Chch not out with the interbred hillbillies because once you're west of Hagley park there's very little evidence of any earthquake, yeah there's a few buildings down but practically nothing compared to the CBD east
Depends on what you call the big one, and where it hits
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
Just faidin away!
The big one is never actually going to happen ... it's just something to be afraid of, should it ever happen!
The last one might well have been BIG but it will never be the "big one", that one is always coming!

Low personal B.M.E.P.
Between Papanui and the city boundary it was all infill housing built from around 1960 on...on good ground and at a time when we built sound housing. I remember the Eastern suburbs being built up too - we lived in Avonside. A lower quality of house on piss poor land.
The house where the kid fell out of bed when the side fell off is about 400m up the road from us...built in about 1925, demolished now.
Ours built in 1890 in wood is still standing.....and should do another 100 years now.

9.0 on the Alpine fault for 4 minutes? MMI in Churchur would be at or just under the 7 mark. for four minutes? not my idea of good fun.The big one is never actually going to happen ... it's just something to be afraid of, should it ever happen!
The last one might well have been BIG but it will never be the "big one", that one is always coming!
Endorse the comments about Hagley Park west, vs CBD and east.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave

Yeah, meant Bishopdale, Bryndwr, Burnside. Basically nothing significant to see... some man hole covers higher than the road, but not much else. Bishopdale mall... I know the community centre will come down at some stage, but otherwise untouched.
I doubt the Alpine fault will give us much trouble in Chch. TBH I'd rather by here for that one... Wellington will cease to exist, as will Nelson and the central North Island. Perhaps Auckland won't be too much worse than we are now, but it's all guessing. All our old shit is gone now, the only question will be electricity supply as the Southern Lakes generation will be gone gone gone. Be interesting to see how Dunedin goes... I suspect it'll kill maybe up to a thousand there (mostly students), but still be quite livable. You've got to have a little bit of a laugh at people who're moving within NZ to escape quakes.

Having lived in a fair few places in NZ and visited everywhere else if I was in your position there would be 2 places that I would look seriously at
Geraldine - it really is beautiful and just big enough
Hawkes bay - best weather in the country and plenty to do

Most Christchurchians are fucking off to Queensland, aren't they? Buggered if I know why.........
If/when we move back, it'll probably be Northland, somewhere.

30% chance of it going in the next 50 years going by yesterdays paper, although something I watched a while back said they doubted it would be as bad as the February earthquake
Don't move to Franz Josef, the fault line runs right through it

Actually, right through the Mobil station there. When it does go the prediction is for the fracture to be an 8 meter shift, so you'll need to walk an extra 8 meters from the pumps to pay for your fuel.

farked if I know, Im thinking along the lines of like when the Alpine went in 1934'ish were one day there was no falls next day there were the Maruia Falls (pictured) didnt the alps rise due to many a quake?
