A local inspecting the damage to St Lukes Church after the 6.3 quake hit. For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time you will Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now are his eyes to this...

Bruce and his cage were sitting on top of the small wooden table on the right before the earthquake. He was understandably alarmed.
If you look very closely, running from the nearest right desk to the second desk on the left hand side, you can see my 'fault-line', - the crack that runs the length of the classroom under the lino.

Now demolished
Robbie and Nicola watch Laura and a helpful neighbour remove the broken chimney.
The chimney busted right through the wooden beam holding up the roof. I'm told it may an alarming noise.
Cleaning up the silt and sand from Hoon Hay properties. Here Laura, Robbie, and Ronny are part of the clean-up crew on Wyn Street.
Laura Young and I tying down tarps over the hole in the roof. We did what we could to tie it down with tension and weigh it down with bricks tied to the tarps. Why? Because gale-force winds are predicted for tomorrow (Sunday) and rain on Tuesday.
Laura and her neighbour getting the chimney down before it comes through their ceiling. Ominous cracks were growing in the ceiling.
