Just a wee one. Small puff. Minor batch of beans.

When St. Helens went off, it blasted with the force of ten atom bombs. When Crater Lake was formed, it got rid of the whole mountain and left ash several feed deep 300 mi away.

[cantab27]

thats want i mean ...she anit much..................famous last words..lol

[4.3LXJ]

Yeah, right. But watch out for that old one south of you. If that starts bulging head for someplace far away. That one is close enough to do you some damage.

If it isn't one thing, it is another eh mate?

Looks like the fires are still burning here, but burned away from our favorite wheeling spots.

wayne, r u ok? Just read figures about:

nearly 10,000 square miles of the lava rock bobbing on the surface of the South Pacific Ocean

it is 2m high and around 25,600 sq.km, so ~50, 000, 000, 000 m3 in volume and weighs 35-40 BILLION tons. Lava rocks are very good construction material and priced 150$/tonn. You may have a business there?

:D:D:D

We here on the west coast (California) are out of practice. It's been quite a while since I've felt one. Years ago when I was with Santa Fe RR I was working on a locomotive pulling a traction motor (wheel set) from under the locomotive when a 7 plus hit. That loco rocked so bad I thought it was going to fall over. :brokenpic:

I hope that it misses also, you guys have had enough natural disasters to last for a while it seems to me. Is the weather on the North Island more severe than the South Island? I know that it is warmer up there. Have you traveled to the North Island? Anyway best of luck with Lusi.

[4.3LXJ]

When it rains it pours mate. An old saying here. Hope that misses you. We had a 6.8 quake just off the coast a few days ago. Status quo for there. No damage

#‎UPDATE‬: Officials are on the ground checking damage as Christchurch is rocked by another major quake. The city's been hit by a 5.7 trembler this afternoon. Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee says there have been early reports of minor liquefaction in the east, with a number of buildings and shopping malls around Christchurch taking the precaution of evacuating. He says EQC is getting engineers into the field, to look at what damage may have occurred. Mr Brownlee says land damage is the main concern, particularly in the east of Christchurch

With the latest Ecuador quakes, the Pacific ring of fire quakes, the erupting volcano in Mexico and now Tonga, you should seriously be checking your emergency kits. Will NZ be next? No one knows for sure but it would be surprising if we got a bit of a rumble somewhere. Hanmer had a 3 this morning

The Pacific Ring of Fire is extremely active, ( the most active we recall it since we started our service over 3yrs ago).

mmmmm interesting .....ring of fire boom boom ....parts of states in there to ?

[4.3LXJ]

Yup Wayne, all along the Pacific coast in the mountains. Nearest volcano to me, which had lava flow one mile away, is still considered active.
