It is bad ! , makes the NZ Christchurch quake seem .. well tiny by compare , Japan was known as an earthquake country , Christchurch was known to be immune , makes you look around .. on a further note my brother Rick stopped through this afternoon , he wants the Battleship mounted in a safe non destructable place .. for the 20th this March

No offence Ian, but Milky's 'Wide Open Spaces' option seems the better alternative to me

make sure Mission Critical Equipment (MCE), i.e. Beer/BBQ, generator (to keep the fridge going to keep the beer cold of course!) is checked and stowed in a safe place

Just occurred to me that we might want to rename this NZQF (Quake Forum) as this topic has been the key generator of forum traffic since 22 Feb

How about a RESCUE theme for next month's screen shot comp????

Roger sir , Sounds like a bloody great idea , make sure Mission Critical Equipment (MCE), i.e. Beer/BBQ,

Ian you better really open them their barn doors and keep em open .. a 'MCE' incoming , require parking space for the LPC,s

Ian (Milky) i might take you up on the offer....i have 1 very scared(about the 20th) flatmate left here + cat, that are looking to get out for the weekend(with me as well).......dont have a tent or anything, but can sleep in the car.
Meat and beer is not a problem.......its odd, i dont hold much faith in the moon guy, but i dont knock folks who do.....so if we can head south it would be good.....but where are you?

I'm sick of hearing about the moon man and other earth quake predictions. Too many people are believing in what is just basic statistics and its not helping anybody. Everyday there are dozens of 3-5 even 6 magnitude earthquakes happening along known fault lines, its just basic historic fact. SO all the predictors are doing is to chuck in a few dates, then say plus or minus 3 days, then add a magnitude range of 4-6 and then a location with a range of 500km. By doing that you have just about everything covered !!
Fact - none of them predicted the worlds 7th biggest quake.

I suppose there are too many of these people predicting meaning atleast one will be right at predicting one lol, then everyone will believe their theory. I don't mind ken ring, i dont fully believe in him. What he says makes sence and his sucess rate for it is good enough for me to keep looking at his predictions. But when it comes to his weather predictions, they are rubbish.
