Unread post by NZ Thunderstorm Soc »

I thought I would start up a page on the forum of members photos of the recent Canterbury Earthquake.
Here is a scene in my front room.

Yes.
I picked it up, replaced the pendulum, and put it back where it was and wound it up and it went for about 5 minutes then stopped. Luckily it was just the glass frontage over the face that broke. Can be replaced.
If it dosen't go, i'll just leave it as such as a momento that was near enough to the time that the initial earthquake struck.

rather repair it than replace it with a mickymouse clock from the warehouse other words put batteries in it the second hand goes around also powers the pendulum and has a tandem difital display and it beeps rather than strikes or chimes i

Yes. It is one of the options but I'm not really worried about it.
I just put it back to where it was before the quake.

I wonder how many people actually did this, alot of people who maybe had little damage in thier homes and had items they hated.
I wouldnt do that we had enough damage in our home as it was, some valuable things like my nana's crystal glasses and crockery varse.

I found it under a pile of heavy green firewood that I had stacked in the garage. The pile fell over in the earthquake.

We were staying in the Riccarton / Ilam area for the weekend (timing!!) and the only major damage evident at the time were fallen chimneys, and the 2 Nave peaks from St. Peters at Church Cnr. Oddly, ALL the headstones in the attached cemetery were fine: something to do with E/W layout vs N/S lateral movement perhaps?

Here is a photo of the new Greendale to Rolleston fault as it crosses a road near to where the railway lines twisted about 2 Kms west of Rolleston.
I live about 3kms ENE of there.

I think that's Kerrs Road. Here's a couple of shots of the Wards Rd/Sandy Knolls Rd intersection which is on the same line of damage 2.5 km west.

I visited my friend in Burwood early in the week, he was told a crack (photo) running through his backyard and other local properties was a Fault. They had major Liquefaction in his area and many houses have damage, some are unlivable.
