Had roam around town last week and snapped these....not a lot of progress since sept 4th , but its getting there. Parts of the city still look like a war zone.
Last time i checked we have had about 7 today, ranging from 2.5 to a 4.0 ........bloody things....always in the back of mind these days.

















I just hope they get in soon and knock some of those awful old buildings down.....dont want the bleeding heart "brick huggers" delaying it anymore.

Geez, I know so many of these places, so sad to see them all falling down, having said that, better to get them out of the way, and build for the future. Restore the ones that can, but not every tom dick and building.
When asked what I have contributed to on this earth my reply will be my daugther

If it hasn't stoped shaking you can still come down at Easter, just don't go any further than Omaka!

Ah, the Occidental has seen better days in more ways than one.
I've just seen this news item on the Lone Star. Makes you thankful for a 4am quake, and not dinner time....
