For all those that wont live in certain areas or states because of Quakes, I can tell you from New Zealand people moved to Christchurch from Wellington because Christchurch was seen as a Quake safe city, 185 people died in 2011 with a 6.3 quake.ouse
BTW Eddy you know I'm a Waimo ? escaped a long time ago.

I had a few friends in ChCh and it was a horrible time for them - I stayed in New Brighton for a while and the house is gone now - A real nightmare...
I lived in Dunedin for 7 years - Not many quakes down there - The 7.1 was off shore from Fiordland and mainly hit Te Anau and Queenstown - I caught a couple of small ones while I was staying in and around the Abel Tasman National Park (The most amazing place I have ever seen).....
I know Waimate - I always remember the wallabies - lol - We always stopped off there on our way from Dunners to ChCh if we drove - Timaru is a horrid place...
You do have to escape The SI after a while - It will drive you nuts - I will be back though
