Mayor: Quake hit city 'like an iceberg'

Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker is thankful there has been no loss of life but there had been considerable damage across the city and outlying areas.

The city has been left devastated after a massive 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck 30km west of the city at 4.35am this morning.

The quake was at a depth of 33km and was centred near Darfield, and has left large parts of the area without power, water or telephones.

Mr Parker said he did not want to overstate the level of damage "but I think it's like an iceberg. There is, in a sense, below the visible line significant structural damage."

"There would not be a house or a family in our city that has not in some way had damage done to their person and or their property," Mr Parker said.

Its all the same. Flightless birds, no proper game animals unless they are imported, toliet bowls that swirl the wrong way, Mel Gibson lives there, and the gun laws are f@cked up. But at least one guy likes guns.
FQ13 who is also wishing the best

FQ, Even I know that while Mel may have been raised in Aus. he came from NY.
NZ has relatively free gun laws, and the reason the toilets swirl the "wrong way is because of the placement of the water jets, (which direction does the sink swirl in ? )
