<p>@Wartsandall, my house is fine. So far nobody has died. And there’s just minor damage at my school. But I have a friend who’s house has been seperated.</p>
<p>@Izzy, I guess I am one of the few you know who live in New Zealand? But haha, thanks for having “thought about” me. I guess me being online meant I was alive.</p>
<p>There are still after shocks which are annoying.</p>
<p>^ I was shocked when I found out that no one has died. If there was a 7.1 on the San Andreas, LA and the surrounding area would be a disaster zone.</p>
<p>^ But shocked in a good way, right
I read an article which kind of explained how people in NZ were fine whereas when the earthquake happened in Haiti, the consequences were way worse. It’s just because the buildings are generally well built (and designed), and we have few tall buildings.</p>
