Earthquake!


Saturday, 4/9/10, 4:30am. 7.1 magnitude, epicentre near Darfield.

Major fissures at eastern end of the block, by Banks Ave
Crack where the bridge meets the land
Medway St footbridge
One of the chimneys. Other one is about 2/3 collapsed
Bifold doors popped out of the frame
Floor of the dining room has moved away from the rest of the house, causing the step to come away from the floor
Window by the kitchen/breakfast area
Mum & Dad's place is pretty munted, as is their street. The joy of being on the river. My flat's OK, we're obviously in a good spot & in a nice modern building.
