Thanks to you all for your kindness . . . I was thinking . . . this site has done so much for me . . . not just for the JW exit journey, but during these quakes it's been so good to have my cyber-friends here . . . I really value the people here. Thanks heaps.

Christchurch, New Zealand, Satanus . . . I'm sure you've heard the reports . . . your P William was down here the other day (seems a nice young man) If you like your info on-line . . . http://www.geonet.org.nz/ . . . makes an interesting browse.

Or . . . if you like the idea of an animated sequence in time lapse with interactive tools . . . http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/

You can have some fun with this one . . .

Why Christchurch's piddly 6.4 earthquake was more violent than the 9.0 in Japan. Radio NZ interview this afternoon.

Scientists are just beginning to understand why the recent Canterbury earthquakes 'punched above their size', and their findings could change international scientific thinking about earthquakes. Alison Ballance talks with GNS seismologists Martin Reyners and Bill Fry to find out more. (duration: 11′02″)

Thanks for the link BS . . . very interesting stuff . . . ground acceleration @ 2.2 g's . . . unbelievable! . . . no wonder it sat me on my arse and lifted the wheels of my van off the ground . . .

I've heard a couple of gr. acc. reports from tokyo instruments, the highest being 0.23 g's (so far) . . . making CHCH's almost 10x that.

Interesting point on chatham rise's extinct subduction zone being at right angles to Alpine fault . . . Geology knowledge re; NZ has progressed since I was at U of W . . . I find it all totally fascinating . . . except for the "flavour" of these quakes . . . too much spice
