White is the new black
I looked at the geonet website the other day to see how many of the last 30 earthquakes have been in the BOP - half of them. I work in a multi-storey building right next to train tracks. It makes me nervous everytime the build rumbles with a train going past!

Well, according to some of my friends who are in geology/civil engineering we're long over due for a big shift along the main divide faultline. They expect the entire westcoast to shift 6 meters laterally in relation to the rest of the south island when it goes... should be big!

I reckon move the south island close enough to join to Wellingtons west coast, then move the whole damn thing north so we can enjoy tropical weather... say just south of Fiji.
The desert creature
I happened to be born in the middle of a continental platform. Having a lifelong phobia of any kinds of tectonic activity (especially the kinds involving collapsing buildings and molten lava), I keep questioning my sanity after settling not just in NZ but no less than right next to a volcano.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

When I arrived here back in November I wondered what those ads on TV telling us to prepare for emergencies/disasters where all about.
Having left London I thought that they can't be talking about terrorist attack as NZ is pretty neutral and doesn't seem to offend any other countries.
Well, now I know. I'm now living on a fairly substantial fault line and can see a volcano from my bedroom.
F*CK!!!

It is all happening in Milford, 9 earthquakes between 1.29am and 1.26pm today. Ranging from 4.1 to 6.7 in magnitude. The only ones I really felt were the first two, haven't noticed any others. However now I am back home in a second story 120 year old building I may start to feel them again.
The website to check is geonet
and it has the most recent 30 quakes in NZ
Come and ride the Southern Roads with us.

There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
