Yeah, I hear ya too.
I would like to reiterate just how much of a raping brick buildings took though. There's a good video of one, it basically just falls down instantly. No warning, no nothing, as soon as the quake started, the entire thing fell down in seconds.

I was on a 13th floor on Lambton Quay and watched out the window as the building close behind ours moved back and forth passed the window! I think our building moved northward as theirs was going south, then we swap directions and pass each other again. Holy shit that was scary to watch, metres of swaying going on. As the quake intensified and I watched this synchronised building swaying I did have that dreaded thought, just how much lean can the building handle before reaching tipping point.
Been through many shakes here at work but that was one of the worse. Can't remember any throwing stuff around on our floor before like today. Head high filing cabinet next to me was knocked for a six. I think the noise of stuff like that scares people even more.
Soothing whiskey when I got home was a treat.
Going to be some people struggling to return to their work buildings next week. Farewelled a customer earlier today who was off to live in Jamaica. We joked she wont miss the Wgtn weather. I doubt it's the weather she will be pleased to leave behind now.

one of which was severley damaged previously and should not have been occupied imho.It had been red stickered
Forum whore
some of the worst damage will occur when swaying buildings strike each other.OLD brick buildings have no integrity,there are a lot of "brick" buildings in wellington that have reinforced concrete skeletons
In the riders seat
Which one? because if a building is red stickered you aren't allowed to use it at all

I was riding along and didn't realise we had a shock. Wondered why the traffic was heavy and nobody wanted to park in the tunnel or under the overpasses. Felt the 6.3 but nothing moved much at home.

Hmm.......... earthquakes in CHCH, Bren moves to wellington, quakes stop in CHCH and start in wellywood.
Coincidence? I don't know but for gods sake don't move any further north.

Send Bren overseas would be the best bet. Take one for the team Bren go to Iran for a while.

Oh - that was a good un allrighty....
You kinda start off being a bit cavilair about the whole thing but the grin fades as you realise it aint stoppin and its getting worse... arsebiscuit.... Dived under the desk so fast I got carpet burn!!!! Our building is actually in two bits with a siesmic 'joint' between them. Slightly alarming to watch the two parts going in different directions.
Anyway - bugged out fast. Piled into daves car and got out before the traffic clogged it. Stayed in touch via cell with customers/staff. All good but bugger me that was scary...
Boss told us to bug out asap
