Very sad - was a nice looking building. This is near the top of the building and there is signs of the top being displaced horizontally.
Rolleston/Burnham, South Island, NZ This used to be a perfectly straight and flat road!

Extensive damage caused by liquefaction in Bracken Street, Avonside. A pile of liquefaction can be seen in front of this house. After the earthquake, many people had to dig this silt out of their properties and place it on the road to be collected.
A collapsed brick wall on Halswell Junction Road. A stack of bricks have been saved by the tree which has grown in a curve and is resting on the wall, holding the bricks in place. A pile of bricks can be seen on the ground where they fell.
A photograph of cracking in the footpath along Gayhurst Road, where the pavement has lifted in places and sunk inwards in others. A road cone has been placed on top of the uneven pavement to warn people. A portaloo can be seen in the background.
Photograph captioned by Fairfax, "A Cashmere man has taken it upon himself to secure his home chimney with planks and ties. Dave McKenzie and his family retreated to underneath a beam in their house thinking it was the safest place".
Makes sense that the end of the detour is where the road closes, right? msh1014: 12. Dead End

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck at about 4:35 am. Thankfully, the day was warm and still (unlike the cold driving rain and hail of yesterday afternoon).
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.

(I righted the bird bath after the initial earthquake. None of the after-shocks were sufficient to knock it over again.)

Bruce and his cage were sitting on top of the small wooden table on the right before the earthquake. He was understandably alarmed.
