[TheList] Mag. 7.4 earthquake, Canterbury region, New Zealand

Sat Sep 4 04:04:49 AEST 2010

Major damage and buildings collapses in CHCH,major damage at pines beach.

roads have cracks in them, bridge approaches damaged, 

In Timaru it scared the shit out of me.

Got out of bed and was difficult to walk to the bedroom door frame.

Everything rattled, walls seem to be moving, massive rocking.

still getting many aftershocks in Timaru

worst I have ever felt in 58 years at 7.4 magnitude in CHCH
