Looks like everybody is helping out, which is cool..

NZ is not thrifty when it comes to earthquake proofing buildings. In fact, NZ has some of the strictest building codes in the Western World. My old man's a builder, and I've jhelped him build a few houses. In my 40 years living in Auckland, there has only been one very slight tremor and that was three years ago. Like CHCH, Akld is not known for its earthquakes. Mind you, it's built on 40+ extinct/dormant volcanoes! And even then I didn't feel it the tremor. My wife did but she grew up in earthquake country. I didn't believe her, but sure enough 10 minutes later, the news said there had been a tremor.
Anyway, thanks all for good wishes and mucking in to help...
I'm just glad your Grumpy old ass is well away from the shit.
