Hi, I'm still here thanks. Mind that such areas were considered of very low seismicity !

Good to hear!

Prior to Sep 4, 2010 Christchurch was also not considered a high risk in NZ. :?

The earthquake continues today. :| The 9 AM's shake has been felt within a radius of four-hundreds kilometers from the epicentre, and also in Austria. The power is around 6 mag. at 5/6 Km beneath the surface, followed by another at about 13 PM. Seem that there isn't a sharp subdivison amongst true quakes and the relevant aftershocks; and people were to continued, unfortunately, their jobs inside downfall factories. Several medieval/renaissance churchs and castles are definitely broken down. BTW, such medieval tower (XIII century) was so. This is indicative of the novelty of such earthquake(s), whether for 800 years it has been up.
