New Zealand earthquake: Tsunami follows powerful tremor
Currently in Wellington. Was fucking shaky, seriously thought the building was about to collapse. This was ~500 km from the epicenter.<p>We were evacuated and let back in. All the planning in the world doesn't prepare you for the real thing, the first thing you're meant to do is keep calm, and I sure as hell didn't. I sprinted right the fuck out of my apartment building, I have 4 levels above me, hiding under a table wasn't going to do shit to save me.<p>The building has some cracks in the plaster and food has fallen off all the shelves, but nothing serious. The water seems to be running a bit brown though, so maybe some damage to the water pipes.<p>Props to the crew at Bizdojo (<a href="http://www.bizdojo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bizdojo.com/</a>) for opening an invitation for us to come and chill there if we couldn't get back into our homes. Doing the right thing there!
