New Zealand Quake

[Sektor]

Gunships are heading towards New Zealand, but not to make war, but to assist in disaster relief in light of an earthquake, initially sized at just 4.6 to a 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale. Here is an article regarding the ships and aid being given.

Here are some images of New Zealand's quake aftermath. I hope that everyone helping stays safe and that they are able to give swift aid and relief to those affected.

Before and After

 

[Nah]

jesus christ the fault line was right there next to the road

hanging wall fuckin' moved up

There was apparently several weaker (roughly 4-5 in magnitude) quakes in the couple of days preceding this, which probably was a warning that this was coming, though I doubt that people would've thought those were, since NZ sits roughly on the Ring of Fire. There's apparently been several aftershocks too (roughly 4-5 magnitude like the foreshocks) since then too.

Would ask if there was a tsunami but I kinda doubt there wasn't one.

I dont think there would be tsunamis in New Zealand if the major fault lines resided so close to the shoreline as in the images, right?
