Christchurch Quake Aftermath

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

When I am updating this post, more than 60 hours after the first quake,  over 100 after-chocks have been felt, most of them between 3.6 and 5.7 Richter, the last one just seconds ago. It feels as though the whole city has been placed as icing on top of a jelly cake.  We are getting used to this perhaps as well as the population of London was getting used to the Blitz Krieg bombing.

… I am actually feeling one of the many aftershocks as I write, five hours after the main quake. Saving power and communication usage now, so no more bla-bla.  The State of Emergency has just been declared.
