Guest The Architect Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) An estimated magnitude of 6.3. It's been getting several aftershocks ever since the earthquake that hit Christchurch last September, but they reckon this one feels like a whole new earthquake rather than just an aftershock.

Tigranes Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I shrugged it off as just an aftershock (yeah, that's pretty bad in itself) but yes, there seem to be dozens dead.

Walsingham Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Dozens dead? Unusually high for NZ, isn't it? "It wasn't lies.

Guest The Architect Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 65 dead last I heard. Yeah it was 6.3, but worse than the 7.1 one in September because it was closer to the city and more shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm surprised how much damage it caused. Hopefully everyone on the forums is ok, we haven't heard from Shryke yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the effect of an earthquake on lingerie models is simply fascinating, rather than dangerous. So he should be in a safe environment. "It wasn't lies.

Tigranes Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Shryke's in Wellington, same as me, and there's another NZer here (who was it?) but also not in Christchurch. So all fine unless they went travelling.

Zoraptor Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm originally from Christchurch and lived there until I was twenty. I haven't heard of anyone I know who is missing, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Looking at updates about Mrs Vos, it's funny the effect a name and a photo can have. Apparently they got her and others in her building out, so that's good. Edited February 23, 2011 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Shryke Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm surprised how much damage it caused. Hopefully everyone on the forums is ok, we haven't heard from Shryke yet. yeah like Tigs said i'm in Wellington, so i'm fine - just haven't had the internet hooked up at my new flat until today my flatmate's brother is down there at the army base where they've set up a temporary morgue when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Tigranes Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We've been shipping down food to a nearby marae housing ~30 people, it seems like they're taking a couple of weeks just to assess damage, get people/bodies out, etc. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Tempted to make a joke about the underwear model community being apparently hit exceptionally hard, but won't in the name of good taste. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sadly, I spoke too soon about not knowing anyone. One of the dead (well, technically missing still) was my best friend in primary/ intermediate school and one of my sister's school friends was killed on one of the buses that got hit. The place I used to live is also evacuated and apparently two people died on a walking track almost directly behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I just realised we've gota business associate down in NZ who I've not spoken to in a while. I can't work out if it's a bit lame to email now and check he's OK. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Guest The Architect Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 At your age you'd probably send an email and forget you sent one the next day anyway, so don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
