you are very correct there, however all you will see is a shit load of cleared sections, CBD is still locked down but you can see up some streets that have not been cleared yet (streets are clear buildings are not), easten suburbs dont take site seers to well (even in a marked vechicle I get gleered at) most concerning to see is proberly the Grand... it plays with ya eyes cos ya know it just shouldnt be leaning like that.

On the day of the quake I was at Les Mills and a mate who was there at the same time called me across and pointed at it and said "Is that leaning?". It just seemed so fucked up and wrong, but it was. Small shops and old houses falling over and leaning I didn't have a problem believing, but the Grand Chancellor?

then I looked across at the CTV building and realised that we had just had the Big One.

So So very true.
Red zone was plainly obvious at dawn on September 5th to a blind man.
Orange zone some will be Ok most not.
As for the green zone we have a rental that is green The land is phucked and the house will eventualy be demolished according to Hawkins construction and State insurance.Untenantable and unlivable by the professional property manager but deemed livable by the call centre retard at State.
White zone. Yep kinda obvious some of it is phucked especially the ones in Sumner where part of the house is at the bottom of the cliff and what remains is still tettering on the edge. Hoe difficult is it to make that call ?????

My Request to CERA

Does CERA and Roger Sutton actually have the special and extraordinary powers he claimed he and CERA have at the public meeting I attended.If so can you explain why CERA hasn't already exercised those powers to retrieve publicly owned land gifted to Nga Tahu.From my understanding the treaty settlement was supposed to address past wrong doings.In my investigations I can find no evidence of the agreement allowing Nga Tahu forming a corporation to exclude any return to the the tribe.It Is time NOW for CERA to exercise its powers.

You're flogging a dead horse there mate - never happen.
The special powers of CERA don't include the ability to levitate the government off it's arse....or as far as I can see to change established policy re the indigenous peoples.
The best you can hope for is transparency in their dealings with Ngai Tahu.

You'd also better hope no one brings any of this to Hone's attention....last thing we need down here at present is his lot sticking their paddle in.

Aucklanders were shaken by a magnitude-2.9 earthquake at 9.09pm tonight.
There were no reports of damageThere was a big jolt and Auckland doesn't get earthquakes, so this was scary,'' Dr Blue said

LMFAO... you dorklanders are so soft

Don't listen to the quotes near the epicenter re: Akl quake.
The epicenter was near mission bay. Definition of "flaccid penis" resides there.

It was a soft vibration.

**schrodingers cat** · 2nd July 2011, 09:47

Yes, truck stops at intersection outside home = 3.5 - 3.9

Hey asshole, it's not our fault the media report on fucking everything.

Not to mention the fact that earthquakes aren't a measure of your cock size, even if it's a marked improvement for you.

Definitely got some sick problems this morning.

Nah just that there's a growing tide of cantabs/non-aucklanders who are genuinely pissed off because the 2.9 made the front news and are taking it out on regular folk that darned got nothin' to do with it.

Should have seen the shit online last night... people seriously acting as though it's a competition.

How about bragging over something that didn't cause 200 people to die?

Christchurch people are doing themselves no favours with their scorn and ridicule, considering the relief donations pouring down from north of the Bombays.

This earthquake IS news, because of its extreme rarity in the region, and as such is being widely reported. In the same way that someone being shot today will be headline news, while the person killed by a drunk driver will barely get a mention, the rarity of the event will determine its newsworthiness.
