Adrienne Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 mmmmm.... I hit a pedestrian a few years ago. She came running around the corner looked to her left and ran out in front of my car. The excuse was that in China they drive on the other side of the road. Anyway Alan - look on the bright side - things can only get better. For all of you in ChCh I think daily of what it must be like living not knowing when the next jolt is going to be. I was born in ChCh and lived there 24 years and only remember one earthquake in that time. Maybe its memory fade :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its memory fade :oops: Not memory fade, it just rarely happens. The faultline causing all this has been inactive for over 16,000 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The scary bit is that she hit a pushbike and her chinese electric assist is a complete right off. The front forks have crumpled completely. Hate to think what it would be like if it hit a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I get what you are referring to Alan. Maybe it was just the angle she hit the pushbike on but obviously the electric must be structurally weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 aaannnd another shake up... Just when you start to relax again..... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 haha yep, but far better during the day than in the middle of the night as usual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Good grief, just when we think its easing up a bit, we get another 4.4 that sends the house and nerves shaking! Had enough of this now :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 That was a really nasty one wasn't it.. amazing how much difference there is between a 4.2 and 4.4. I'd be glad to stop being reminded though! (My poor cats are so freaked out too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaM Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 4.6 at 2430 hrs... we'd just gone 24hrs without one registering on geonet...and then a good shaking, rolling 4.6 after midnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Check out this video. It is very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 By the way, last night's 4.6 was the first aftershock that caused me to loose water from the tanks...admittedly I only really filled them to the top again about two weeks ago, but still, we had two 5.0 shakes in that time and no water was lost. Was it just me, or was that pretty full-on for a 4.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 It wasn't just you, it felt larger than 4.6 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Definately felt larger than a 4.6. It must be because of where it was centred. I certainly had plenty of water sloshing too, but not out of the tanks this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Twas also a really shallow one. Would have contributed to it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I gather you have just had another big shake. My aunt has lost power. Son reports a big shake but they are OK. How is everyone else? Last quake on Geonet shows a 4.0 at 10.54 so it hasn't updated yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 At 11.32am, 5.0, 9km deep, 10km SW of ChCh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yep, pretty big one. Lots of tank splashing, but I still got power. Amelias tank has yet again got water on the wrong side of the partitian :roll: I was outside....pretty scary Milo just ran into the back-yard... I ran inside and started wiping the minor water spills... all basking areas are now soaking wet and all turtles in the water..... I've really had enough now..
