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

Sat Sep 4 13:55:30 AEST 2010

I read an article from a guy in the US somewhere, he had a pretty extreme
climate – down below zero every morning and he build a couple of big solar
collectors at ground level to heat air and pumped the air in and out of the
collectors using a couple of muffin fans using elephants whatsit for the air
ducting..

He reported that it took a couple of hours each morning to get the temp up
back over 0 to where other heating could be a bit more effective. If you had
a good northerly aspect and fine but cold days it might help.

I was at work here in AshVegas when this bloody thing struck.
Happened to be replacing and re-connecting a motor on a spud conveyor way
the hell up in the air.
Ever been on a palm tree in a hurricane?, that's what it felt like.
Luckily I had at least 2 bolts into the flange when it struck.
Still getting the odd after-shock every now and then, there was a really
good one here at about 0800.

Just as a note guys, can any of you give me some advice on heating my
workshop here, I don't want electricity, LPG is far too expensive and has
far too 
much moisture content.
It's only about 4m x 8m with a sloped roof that slopes down to 2.2m high.
We had a bloody good frost here in AshVegas this morning and it is bloody
freezing in here, I just need something to warm this place up in the colder
months to 10C.
Can anyone help with advice?

Cheers,

Mike T.

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
