Omigod, I hope people aren't still trapped in there.

Omigod, I hope people aren't still trapped in there.

Given what could have happened if the leaning buildings had fallen and disintegrated it is amazing that so many got out alive. I realize that that is little comfort to those who lost friends and family but in reality it could have been a lot worse.

I also find it a true demonstration of courage that the rescuers kept at their task of rescuing people in spite of the ongoing aftershocks that they knew would be coming.

An interesting lesson for Richmond showed up on the 'net this morning.

When the Christchurch quake was on, people at the beach reported the sea welling up through the sand, liquefaction.

And sea cliffs collapsed into the ocean, send huge clouds of dust which people filmed and sent into the local media station.

I've never really paid any attention to earth quakes until the Japan earth quake just a few years ago.

We loose the sun behind the mountains at my place over the winter. Feb.4 would be the beginning of a couple of minutes of sun increasing daily. After the Japan earth quake we noticed no sun until the 14th. This year the 18th.
