    When the quake hit, everybody was at home in bed. We New Zealanders live in American-style houses framed with 2x4s. That's the best sort of place to be in an earthquake. The wood flexes in a nice way. Even if the wood breaks, your house does not bury you with rubble. Most of the buildings that collapsed were heritage stuff built before WWI, when nobody had a clue about earthquakes, and empty in the wee hours.

    I've always thought how weird it would be to have a fault go through a familiar landscape, like your own property, and see a road or line of trees get shifted so dramatically, the way these views show.

    well guess what it buried people this time. In concrete buildings - duh. The building codes suck in NZ. build wooden /stucco structures as they do in California. But then why bother - I aint going back.

    I live about 400 km from this and it was intense that far away. Imagine if you were standing right next to that

    These fracture patterns remind me of our analogue experiments. I "video replied" an example.
