Earthquakes

[dapianoplay3r]

It was so big that people felt the quake over most of NZ

The worst thing is that this was on a different fault line to the first quake and apparently it just dramatically increased the chances of Wellington getting a quake.

This is seriously so scary. Earthquakes are the scariest kind of natural disaster IMO, possibly because it's the most likely to happen where I live (followed by volcanic eruption...).

i hate unhappy events. Not just because of the event itself, but becasue i dont know how to react in a way that doesnt offend people. im terrified that i will try to lighten the situation with humour and make everyone hate me :(

 

i hopr u and ur family/friends/relations are alright, moggy. my heart goes ut to christchurch and its inhabitants. D:

I live in Auckland. We have about 13 DORMANT volcanoes around the city

I'm a bit curious about the reason for the national state of emergency... I read a blog post suggesting that the only difference between the local state of emergency and the national was who was in charge. But then, I'm a cynic.

 

Auckland's volcanoes are trippy, yeah. If Rangitoto blows in a big way the central city will be stuffed.

 

The herald website says that 80% of Christchurch is without water, which must be terrible.

 

Blackhoof! How dare you not make jokes!

To lighten the mood a bit, I have a question.

 

When the hell did so many bloody Kiwis appear in SG?!

[Aust]

I've always wondered that myself - and back to earthquakes we had a 3 point today - very small and no damage

[Moon Sedai]

While I've been told there is a minor fault line in Texas, the worst Natural disasters to hit my area are Hurricaines.

 

Hurricaine Ike in 2008 hit us pretty hard. It was awful.

 

 

 

[Aust]

Yeah it seems like so many natural disAsters happening lately too

[WWWwombat]

Glad to hear Moggy is ok. As for there being a lot of Kiwis in SG, at one point they made up like half of the command structure xD

[Aust]

I think they left behind some sleeper cells :p

[dapianoplay3r]

*wakes up*

What....

[Aust]

It's okay -you can go back to bed now. Trouble sleeping? Here... have a sip of THIS. *looks innocent*

[dapianoplay3r]

Im ment to be awake now. Its my noon. But Im sure you can drink it and take a nanna nap. Ill even give you some of my own.... Sleeping potion

[Aust]

Does anyone know of any international aid charities helping out?

[Magnetic Zero]

They're not a third-world country, they don't need no stinkin' aid.

[Alaksuleiel]

Good one MZ

 

Try the Red Cross Aust.

[Aust]

People can always use help after a disaster like that. It's not an easy recovery process.

 

Red Cross is definitely a good thought Alak - if I was thinking properly I would have just thought of it myself so thanks ;)

To lighten the mood a bit, I have a question.
