    Driving home up Marsden st in about a foot of water after the big floods in the Hutt in '74(?) I was passed by a 16ft alloy jet with some sort of V8 in it.

    He was taking kids for laps of the block. As you do.

    Not familiar. But they sound like good people.

    Liked your video, Crasher, found myself humming, "Day after day, de whole place slipping away . . . "

    I understand little shakes are a part of ordinary life for y'all. Same thing is true in Anchorage, Alaska, where my family lived when I was a little guy, and you might like this yarn that came out of the 9.2-rated Good Friday earthquake in 1964.

    As the story goes, on that day a tourist up from the Lower 48 was visiting a friend in Anchorage when the earth began to tremble. "No sweat," her friend reassured her, "these things happen all the time here." But very quickly the shaking builds to where they are thrown to the ground, and great fissures open around them. (The main street of the city dropped twelve feet, the control tower at the airport collapsed, eighty houses in an upscale development slid off into Cook Inlet).

    When the quake finally subsides, the visitor and her friend slowly and warily get to their feet. The visitor, still shaking with fear, finally gets her voice back and with considerable anger blurts out, "I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE CAN STAND HAVING THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME!!!"

    Wonder if the visitor came from tornado alley?

    Excellent vid, truly shows the widespread extent of devastation. Even either side on the unwrecked bits all those cracks are going to let water under the surface and wreak havoc.

    interesting that it appears nowhere that any of the main road has dissappeared from below completely, just part of some have slumped or being filled from above.
    there's no doubt on some of those places through the hundalees a huge amount of groundwork will be needed though
