It's going to suck a bit of money out of the rest of NZ too

Aparently there is a scientist fela that has figured out whats happened. The 2 plates have moved approx 5meters apart. They wil kep shaking for next few weeks to settle back together. Lastnyt was out of it, im an hour south of chch, and you can hear them cuming, outside goes quiet then house moved, quite strange feeling.

Fark that man, I'd be crapping my pants

Its realy not to bad. Sit outside on deck chair have smoke watch stars and u hear quake coming then you start rocking. Aron got some pics that are unreal and outrite freaky. People standing in cracks in midle of road and they sunken a meter into ground.

Of course I'll have to laugh at that. My mate was over there, I'll blame him. Going to be fun times cleaning up that damage. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

South side bt rite up top of gorge. It fairly close 2 were the quake happend

I lived at Lake Coleridge for a few years,Most of my family still live in Darfield and Kirwee,One of my sisters house have been totaly wreaked(not good)But nobody hurt which is great.

I Left Christchurch with my 7yo boy yesterday(he not liking the quakes at all) to go to Timaru. I was at work(Skope) yesterday morning when that 5.2 hit it was freaky as 250 people or more ran out into the street as the factory shaked like crazy. I thought it would be getting better by now but it isnt CHCH was rocked last night by some good quakes.My VL ran mint all the way here( 2hrs south of CHCH). There is a Chrysler run/show on Saturday so hopefully i can boost past some old 6s. Be Safe CHCH!!!

Heard on the radio yesterday about some farmers down there one has or had a river for a boundry which now has followed a depression and has cut off like 30 hectares off his farm !!!

hows life now for those down there ?? looks like hell everywhere on the news

Its getting anoying now....still getting heaps of quakes everyday....its bever ending...had a good shake at 7.10am this morning was shallow and 4.5 but was enough to give a good shake......getting woken up during the night because of them....so everyone is getting a bit tired now......
