Geonet / ChristchurchQuakeMap is your homepage

The rest of the country offers you a place to stay

Munted and buggered are official technical terms

You go 'pfffff' when Wellington has a 4.5 earthquake that's 40km deep

You see a nice park in another city and think it would make a good evacuation point

You sleep in one suburb, shower in another and collect water from yet another

When you drive on the right side of the road and no one thinks it's wrong

You are happy two Policemen came for a visit

When your bike becomes your best friend

You think it's fine for a soldier to be stationed at the end of your street

You see armoured vehicles driving down the road

Its normal to greet people with do you need a shower?

A bucket of sh*t is no longer that old car you drive

Every house is a crack house

Instead of rushing to the clothes line to get clothes in when it rains, you put dirty washing on the line in the hope that it will rain enough to clean them

Going to Wellington to escape earthquakes makes sense

Your doctor recommends having a few stiff drinks before bed to help you sleep

You know how to start and refuel a generator

You have tied the pantry, liquor cabinet and all the cupboard doors closed and it's not to keep kids out

You prefer to sit under the table instead of at it

You think electronics that have "shock proof" should say to which earthquake magnitude

You know and actually understand the terms and conditions of your House and Contents insurance policies

You can see irony in claims about houses made of permanent materials

Your en-suite has a vege garden, dog kennel and grass

Your teenagers are only too happy to sleep in the same room as their parents

You stop using the term built like a brick sh*t house

Dressing up to "head into town" means putting on a hi-viz vest, hard hat and boots

Discussing toilet habits with total strangers is an everyday norm

Wee boys don't get excited when they see (another) digger or a dozer - but all the adults in the street cheer wildly

Voluntarily staying in Timaru for five days seems like a good idea

You know what that extra gear lever on your 4X4 is for

Metservice includes a graph for dust

You have dust mask tan lines

You can use the term "liquefaction" in everyday casual conversation, even your 3-year old can

When a massive group of students appears in your street, you feel overwhelmed with gratitude instead calling the Police. Whats more, the students leave the street in better condition than when they arrived

The answer to where anything is ... "its on the floor"

You smile at strangers and greet people like youre one big family

Я уже писал у себя, что у нас народ на велике в любую погоду гоняет, даже в минус 30 :)
