The mess in our house created by the Christchurch Earthquake, Feb 22, 2011.

This video is a brief look around our house shortly after the 6.3 earthquake hit in Christchurch, New Zealand on febuary 22nd 2011. We had already tidied up some of the kitchen, but you can get an idea of the force of the earthquake. Anything that could move did and most of it ended up on the floor, draws and cupboards flew open and items smashed everywhere. It was quite a scary earthquake to be in, with an amazing force.
Luckily our house suffered only minor damage comapred to many other people in the city, and especially the CBD where a few 5 story buildings collapsed.
This event really changed the face of Christchurch, and it will take years to rebuild the city.
