Firstly I must thank the Moderators for keeping this thread open as it can hardly be construed as Ethnographic Weapons, more natures weapon I think!
Here are some pics of damage which might be of interest to those lucky members who are not subject to quakes. Obviously the CBD where most damage and death has occured, is in lockdown for search and rescue purposes so these are buildings in the suburbs.
The flooding is caused be liquifaction which is sand and water pushed up thru the top strata by pressures created below.
As you can see from the MONTEITHS sign, the humour is still there despite everything else!
