Thanks @Tim, good article that puts into layman's terms just our unstable and dynamic the earth beneath NZ really is. Sheesh.

Aye, all good here.

Good to hear our Japanese TSF crew are all good.
24th floor, gulp!

As a follow on I found this article The Really Big One very interesting.
Yeah. Wow. Thanks for recommending

Excellent. Thanks for posting. My next conference is in Oregon (& Seattle). Looking forward to it.

Wow ... I am planning a south island drive with the family shortly and have been keeping an eye on the roads there to see what's opened/closed. The road north of Kaikoura is still closed and I've been looking to see when it's going to open but found nothing.
HOWEVER, looking at google maps / earth, I see the photo's here have now updated to be taken after the quake. It's worth taking a look, as the sheer number of slips in the area, and the overhead shots of the road, are something to behold.
There are about 3 instances where the road was cliff on one side, ocean on the other, where the whole cliff has come down across the road. It is going to be a mammoth mammoth job to clean up.
Check it out - it's well worth a look.

Good grief, that was ages ago. What are they doing? Don't tell me "fixing Christchurch", that still looks like Dresden.
-
@antipodean To be fair, I don't know the dates on those photos - it could have been a week after the quake.
They look really bad from above, but then if you zoom down to a street view, you can see just exactly how high the cliffs are. It is undoubtedly a huge huge nightmare/mess to try and fix up and I'm not surprised it isn't going to re open for quite some time yet.

I was joking about State Highway 1. That will be a mammoth undertaking. Downtown Christchurch on the other hand, Fukushima will be habitable before that's fixed.
