Howard (earthquake survivor Tangshan, China 1976 (7.4)) Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 22:09:36 +0000 From: John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> Subject: [Leica] NZ PAW 30 To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> A truncated week, I was working from home most of the week while my office was checked for safety. There are various cracks (working as designed) in it but I have a couple of photos of buildings with superficial damage.... "More quakes hit the Marlborough/Wellington regions in the past six days than in the previous 10 years, GNS Science seismologist Matt Gerstenberger told a public meeting in Seddon last night. Since Friday last week, 392 magnitude-3 quakes or higher had occurred compared with fewer than 300 over the past decade. There was a shake of 4.0 during last night's meeting." Also parts of Marlborough (top of the South Island) were pushed 5cm east by the 6.5 earthquake. http://johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2013/30 C & C welcome john
