On 22nd of February at 12.51 PM i experienced an earthquake. It's magnitude was "just" 6.3, but the epicentre of this aftershock was just 5 km deep and right under Christchurch. It was the worst and the most destructive earthquake in New Zealand in last 80 years.
When the earthquake hit, i was just playing pool in the city center on Hereford street.
I would like to show you some photos which I've taken straight after this quake.. photos of the city, and then also of the house i am living in..
 |
First picture of Hereford street which i have taken... Dust was everywhere.. |
 |
This is the first destroyed thing i was looking at.. "Omg, something is not right" |
 |
Everyone run out of all buildings.. It was not safe, not at all.. |
 |
The earthquake was realy massive.. this is the building next to the one i was in.. was it the luck? |
 |
Banks.. big security problem |
 |
Destroyed cathedral.. no comment |
 |
Luckily nobody was in |
 |
Cracks in the road.. |
 |
One of the houses on our hill .. |
 |
That's what happened to my room.. and it was probably the smallest damage in the house |
 |
It really was earthquake, I am not so messy.. |
 |
Probably the worst thing in the house, main entrance.. but this is already reapaired, it's safe |
 |
Camping in front of our house.. we don't know if it's safe to be inside |
I am looking at it as a really big experience.. and as you could see, there is plenty of work and repaires which has to be done..
