Willard M Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Has anyone heard from Brendon to see how he fared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Not yet. Highlander, who lives on the North Island is trying to reach him and I left a message on his answer machine. It's most likely a power outage but someone will pass on news as soon as we hear anything. Thanks for asking. I'm sure he will be glad to know you asked.

Willard M Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I got the following from Brendon, Hi Willard, Thanks very much for your concern. It was a very big quake, and very terrifying. I'm pleased to be able to say there were no injuries and only relatively minor property damage around my immediate family. My brother's house was very badly damaged, as were a lot of buildings in the city. Water and sewerage are still compromised, but the power and phone just came back on in our area so I'm reading the email while they're still working. Thanks again, Brendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard M Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Happy to hear you and yours are OK. Sorry about brother's house. Not an experience I would want to go through. Take care and the best to you and yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vid2man97 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Glad to hear you're ok Brendon. From what I've been seeing on the news you were hit pretty badly down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyEmerald Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Glad to hear everybody is ok, sounds like they had strong building codes down there which caused the buildings to sway and not collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Not counting those below magnitude 2, there have been 556 quakes there so far. There's a good animated display of the quake database here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerman Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's also amazing that they know the depth at which this happens. The number is truly staggering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
