I was in Christchurch 18 months ago staying in a hotel near the big cathedral. It's such a lovely city and it's terrible they've had two bad earthquakes in a short period of time

Well it sucks to see anyone suffer! The world is a nasty place.

I saw that, but someone is saying the pic isn't of the main one. Really sad if it is gone, it was a beautiful bulding.

Looks rough.

That's sad.

Be somewhere safe, Sceneman.

That's awful, earthquakes are the scariest natural disasters.

HOLY FUCK AGAIN?!

I HAVE FAMILY THERE

The Sceneman · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:05:19 AM »

yeah

It was a miracle that last years quake claimed no lives.

We aren't so lucky this time, 65 confirmed deaths and dozens more unaccounted for.

Very sombre day in NZ today. I myself am pretty upset by the whole thing

None of you bastards cared about the floods in QLD. Why does everyone like NZ more than Australia

The Sceneman · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:26:48 AM »

we were following it pretty closely over here... pretty scary stuff

pilonv1 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:45:51 AM »

I mean everyone else.

Some crazy natural disasters this year and it's only Feb

The Sceneman · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:34:50 AM »

Wellington which is a few hundred miles north. Everything is all good here but this city is supposed to be the quake prone one... so we are pretty worried.

shitty map:

I saw pics of a road in Greymouth that buckled from it, amazing if true. (Greymouth is around the H in South on the map).

Stay safe man.

As if The Hobbit needs another problem to delay filming.

Yeah you'd be fucked living on that hill. Can I have your games?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2011, 09:08:00 PM »

sure. as long as I can make as many copies as I want of your Death Certificate

joking aside this is now NZ's worst disaster ever. 98 confirmed dead, hundreds more missing presumed dead

Bildi · « **Reply #25 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:29:22 AM »

We copped flood, fire and cyclones and have been wondering which is the worst. I think the answer is: earthquakes.

Really terrifying stuff, glad you're OK.
