Whazzupwitdat? Where is the Gloom and Doom? Where is the Terror?

Run for the Hills! The Earth is moving!!! Oh wait not the hills...

1968 Inangahua Earthquake




So okay... Earth opens up under car... I don't think I would be driving over it

Whole Lotta Shakin Going On!

Another VERY SHALLOW Earthquake ONLY 5 km DEEP, 95 km north of White Island,
(At Sea, in the north of The Bay of Plenty) and a magnitude of 3.3.

The Activity appears to be in The 'Kermadek Trench', 'Kermadek Ridge', 'Havre Trough' and 'Colville Ridge'
off Auckland down to Te Araroa.

This may bring about changes in seismic activity in NZ ?

Same here. Christchurch has had it's big nudge for now so it would be the safest place in New Zealand to live due to all the demolished buildings that failed and brand new ones being built or strengthened. Time will tell if the rest of the country has taken notice of what happen here and have strengthen their buildings up to the required code.
I'm sure you will see some doom and gloom photos of peoples losses if they didn't.
I work for a structural engineering company as a structural inspector for residential houses and small commercial buildings so I'm right in the thick of it.

Excellent photos Flux. Hell you are right at the front of it all being a structural inspector for residential houses
and small commercial buildings.

I here there are still issues around 'Insurance Claims' in the Christchurch areas and some of the Red zones
are still being sorted out ?

My grandparents had a house in Christchurch, which fortunately suffered very minor damage.

This information came from a cousin who visited there, shortly after the Earthquake, to take a look at the old property.

When I shifted into the Auckland area, I thought we would get away from other earthquakes, taking place
in the Wellington and Central areas, but now the activity seems to have followed me up here ...   

[Flux]

Yes I was inspecting houses while the after shocks were still happening. Still finding issues with property's after they have been 'EQC' repaired

Still doing inspections today and many more to come.

Insurance claims are one of the biggest thing's holding the rebuild up. Red zones were created to bale out the insurance companies. You need to research into the details but there is a lot of corruption going on here which the rest of the country isn't informed of.

'My grandparents had a house in Christchurch, which fortunately suffered very minor damage'.

So says EQC. Wouldn't trust them as far as I could spit. Countless times we call them out on their scoped repair work accessed by hairdressers, ex-police officers and whoever else had good communication skills. Yup that's right you just have to have 'good communication skills' to work for EQC as an inspector and not have any building or engineering knowledge. They were payed $4000nzd a week plus car, accommodation, food etc on top.

I once walked into a house to do a structural engineering inspection and there were 2 EQC inspectors there. One was sitting at the kitchen bench having a lovely cup of tea and a cookie and turn to me and asked 'what's that for' pointing at my spirit level in my hand, I said it's what I use to check wall leans and floor levels with, he just laughs and says 'I would use one of those'

EQC never checked for wall leans. The use their eyes only

I tell you a lot has been hidden/covered up with government PR shit making it sound like everything is swell and dandy.

People are in for a shock whenever the big one hits because there is no money left in the EQC purse and the re-insurancers will pull out of NZ (one reason the red zone was created to keep them here so they didn't pull out of NZ after the first lot of quakes).

I suspected as much.   

Sadly I still think that big one is yet to come. Its not a matter of when but where.

I just hope, what I saw in RV re. Wellington is NOT necessarily going to happen.
