After the latest quake, looks pretty bad!

Looks very bad. This quake not as powerful as the previous one, but much shallower apparently, so the damage could be much greater.
- And I was feeling sorry for myself, sitting in hospital with a missing appendix! Poor kiwi'sslappy
- ooh that can sting. Try not to cough or sneeze the first few days. Don't let your mrs jack you off in the hospital, you'll nearlymikotondria3

This is terrible and very sad. Sending good thoughts.
Growing up in CA we were always somewhat ready for earthquakes when they came, and we built accordingly, but what just went down in New Zealand is crazy big. Just curious, when a 7(.1?) hits a city in NZ, isn't it felt all over the islands? How far away does this impact people?
- I was in Milford Sound during the quake (about the same latitude but on the West side). Didn't feel anything.BK

Chistchurch seems to have copped the worst of it, they don't have enough ambulances so police and public with 4x4s ferrying people to hospitals, mostly old heritage buildings damaged Inc their iconic chapel. A lot of natural disasters lately!

yep it's pretty bad - our Creative Director is stuck there - his building half collapsed whilst he was in it, he's lucky to be alive.
He just called saying the city is in gridlock, so he' walking the 6 or so kms to the airport in the hop he can fly out at some point, although the airport has been totally shutdown.The Cathedral in the centre of the city which is the most iconic building is in ruins - having survived the quake in Sep last year. Very very sad, it all sounds totally fucked down there, worried about my friends there as all cellphone coverage is jammed from the traffic...
