I hope ChesterNZ and other kiwis on this forum are ok. My thoughts are with you guys and hope that you can rebuild quickly. I'm also glad that there were no deaths.
Thanks for your concern everyone. This is probably the most exciting thing to ever happen here!
We weren't hit too badly. The insurance should cover what little damage there is here. My uncle was a lot worse off. He lost several bottles from his whiskey collection (that he had been aging for a long time). They shattered and spilled onto the tiled floor. As they have underfloor heating the whiskey evaporated and now the whole house smells of whiskey!
It's unfortunate that no one cares about the nine people who were killed in a plane crash on the West Coast -- this is easily a far worse disaster, but they only get a minute or two in the news because their deaths happened to coincide with this relative triviality.
Is this earthquake in New Zealand a mere coincidence? What about all the others around the globe? Jesus gave us an idea.
Luke 21
[11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
