@smithcd Sadly, the new earthquake (6.1 Aftershock yesterday) Caused many people to die and many buildings to collapse. I was in CHCH at the time of the earthquake and to be honest, that was the most terrifying thing ever. Oh god... 200-400 deaths...

@smithcd

@vintagelifelover

The magnitude of the quake was not as large as September's but it was much shallower ie much closer to the surface therefore more of the energy of the quake makes it to the surface and it can be far more vigorous and violent. I'm no seismologist, but that's my understanding of the situation.

[vintagelifelover]

seems like todays was stronger. it knocked ice off a glacier 146 miles away. I think 30 trillion tons of ice. weird. please if anyone thinks it was stronger reply. It seems to us here in the us like the media is lying about the magnitude. May god bless you alll

[smithcd]

@udoPey no they didn't. they did today though. RIP to those lost

[MrSystematica]

so much chocolate on the floor

[BuffaloBill23]

@udoPey Not in this one they didn't.

[udoPey]

@smithcd People did die.

[jamesjiao]

@ashbegurl1997 I guess you just did.

[steneve]

[Setmefree22]

@Setmefree22 The next day I mean't!

[dragonpup1]

it wasnt really that bad, the media is like making it sound worse than it actually is
