The New Zealand Experience
To whom it may concern.

7.8 quake
Continuous 5.0 aftershocks
Tsunami has already swept the coast.
I guess no pace if perfect, especially if located dead square on top of the Ring of Fire.

RE: The New Zealand Experience
I have a couple of friends in separate parts of the South Island , both safe but deeply shocked , one even contemplating coming home and she's been there over 20 years.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!

RE: The New Zealand Experience
A 7.8 quake is no small thing and can bring down a lot of infrastructure, crumble a road system, bring down bridges and damage everything standing beyond repair.
Even the 5 point aftershocks are enough to cause severe damage in built up areas. The occasional 5 point quakes in California cause billions of $$$ damage to structures and networks.

RE: The New Zealand Experience
A good reminder that from a location to live point of view, conditions in the UK are benign compared to many other places in the world.

RE: The New Zealand Experience
Kiwis and Maoris alike are used to quakes. We had several when I lived there many years ago (near Christchurch, South Island). NZ is an amazing place.

RE: The New Zealand Experience
I'm moving there myself full time. I was there a few months ago and am going back in August to look at properties.
