tbh I did the same thing as your dog- there were contractors on the floor below me.

I work in a building right next to a train track, it took us about half the earthquake to figure out that this wasn't just a really big train going by.

Didn't notice it in Toronto, I must have assumed any quaking was bass from speakers on the ground.

So was there any further news on this Christchurch quake? I don't know of any ILXors from there, they were either north or south IIRC.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:34 (fifteen years ago)
Ned there were no casualties and few injuries, thanks largely to strict building codes and strengthening programs, and the fact that it was at 4am and nobody was out to have a building fall on them. The majority of the buildings with hardcore damage are heritage/really old which is pretty upsetting to see. From what I've heard the emergency response/cleanup has been very well handled but hampered by lots of STRONG aftershocks which apparently they're still getting. No fun for anyone.
I'm an expat btw, getting my info from friends & family and online reports.
― franny glass, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:04 (fifteen years ago)
Thanks! Hope your friends/family weren't among the injured.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:11 (fifteen years ago)
Nope, thankfully everyone I know is fine. Someone's cat still hasn't come home, though :(

We felt it really violently - kind of scary in a rickety old building

i was on my back porch on the phone, and i was like, "wait hold on a second. either a truck just hit my house or there was a quake." my friend on the other end started laughing cuz she just moved away from the Bay Area.
