On Feb 22nd when the magnitude 6 earthquake hit, I was in the middle of the city centre on the 6th floor of our building. We’ve not been allowed back in since (though rescue people did collect our bikes from the basement – which was very nice of them!).
Anyway, the city council has been allowing business’ to go back in and have a single run into their buildings to get essential stuff out. I leapt at the opportunity to go back in and have a nosey (stupidly forgot my head-torch which was a little silly)..
Unfortunately I think my camera is dying, and most of the pictures didn’t come out too well (annoying to say the least). My lunch which had been sitting there for 4 months was a little hairy – but I forgot to check the fridge (which was apparently an awesome site). I did take a video on the way in – which you can see here.
So, apologies for the complete lack of regular blog updates. Truth to tell I’ve been working *hard* on getting Snowpool up and running for Australia and NZ (the snow has singularly failed to arrive), and constant earthquakes simply take it out of you. We’ve had 8000+ quakes since September. That’s actually quite a lot…
