Christchurch Earthquake

[Growler]

no water here......fire cranking.

Richmond WMC down as is the old church next to it. Massive sand eruptions in Madras St again. About to send wife and kids away to Weedons for water and safer environment for a few nights.

[mattnz]

it wont i'd say.

Doesn't say it's cancelled yet. Doesn't arrive until 6:30ish

[Tiwaking!]

Holy Fuck that was a good one. I'm picking well over 5.

My classmates partner texted her during this one. He is a truck driver and said that the containers started moving before he felt the earthquake.

That is just scary.

Bugger...you need water? We have a few litres can spare (especially for the dogs: still chlorinated though). Plenty of food here too if anyone needs a feed. Liquefaction was runnier I guess because of the expulsion of sediment in the February quake. Damn aye, a shake as I type... a shake every few minutes: http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/drums/mqz-drum.html

Adrenalin' a fucker aye...no control.

Woohoo,sorry to hear about your surgery, but prudence is probably for the better, even though it's not that consoling. Get them to fly you elsewhere for surgery...

Lucky I just filled up my tanks yesterday! 20L in the cupboard!
Which is lucky, because hot water is gas, we don't have a cylinder!
House seems ok, just a little worried about the heating (and stove top cooking) as it's (plumbed not bottled) gas. Seems fine though.

Have antarctic jacket though.

neighbours all ok, spent time taking refuge in the botanic gardens with them before helping one get his car started so he could go stay with a mate in Riccarton.

Sigh. Bloody quakes.




PS, ultra shit about your surgery woohoo, but glad you weren't under the knife at the time!
Could you travel elsewhere to get it done?

[Tandoori]

Take a leaf from the Europeans and sink beer yo.

[Speakman]

yeah we've filled about 30L of water from the hot water cylinder

[Pyromanik]

Yeh, but your water tastes like corroded pipes as it is :/

This is turning out to be worse than initially thought... all seemed pretty calm from the middle of town.
But just right this instant I hear on the telly that the pigs have moved out of their sty... xD

Every time I go past I wonder how they still work in there, some 11 storys high. Brave motherfuckers doesn't afraid.

[Speakman]

the cylinder is all good, it's just the cold tap thats fucked

[Growler]

rattle rattle rattle...

im a little annoyed that I have ZERO booze here..... sad growler is sad!

[Growler]

Grand Chancellor still up?

[Speakman]

from what i've read its shifted, but still standing.

[Pyromanik]

Grand Chancellor still up?

Yep. But slightly more (visible) lean on.

Back to boiling water for food, sigh. Water pressuer is poor, but we're lucky to have it at all I hear.

[Growler]

Drop a bomb on the fucker.....

[Pyromanik]

if it goes down, it's so taking the hotel across the street with it.
Maybe the westpac building too depending on how it falls I guess.

Sorry to hear dudes.

Damn nature, you scary.

hopefully today is enough for them to realise that it has to come down far far earlier than within the next 10 months

[Dr Woomanchu]

Apparently the Centra across the road from the Grand Chancellor now has a visible lean

Drop a bomb on the fucker.....

Heard an ex-air force guy suggest something like getting the Aussies to drop a dummy LGB down the center, think I would pay to see that.

Stream it live on the internet and I think a lot of the world would pay to watch that.

[Pyromanik]

I could definately find that acceptable.

PS woohoo, best avatar yet I think.

[Ngati_Grim]

Have antarctic jacket though.

 
_b X3

[Pyromanik]

2 sizes too big for me. But that's ok, it means I can fit 2 other jackets underneath for when it gets really fuck'n cold.

Or tuck my legs up inside, because I don't have antarctic pants lol

[Ngati_Grim]

PS woohoo, best avatar yet I think.

Agree to both.

[Pyromanik]

It would be a very capitvating event!
Enough to tittilate the senses in such a trying time!
Missiles in hotel rooms... I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time those walls would have heard that line!

xD


Fuck man, house is like fully constantly moving. Just rumbles continuiously.
