Lots of people were out and about in the streets checking on everyone after the earthquake. When it was clear that everyone was OK, the sand volcanos became the feature of interest.
Robbie and Nicola watch Laura and a helpful neighbour remove the broken chimney.
Our neighbours house during its "Deconstruction" yesterday... It has to be rebuilt after the Christchurch Earthquakes.
Our neighbours, Laura and Robbie, were unlucky enough to have their chimney fall into the roof rather than off the house.
Laura and her neighbour getting the chimney down before it comes through their ceiling. Ominous cracks were growing in the ceiling.
Propped up neighbours but life goes one.

Light-Relief - With no power after the 6.3 magnatude quake hit Christchurch (22 February 2011) the neighbour's freezer thawed out along with their Deep South Ice Cream - so Tiggles the Kunekune Piglet thinks the spoils of the power-cut are yummy!
Awaiting the demolition ball! See the hole punched in by the neighbouring building (now demolished) during the February 22 2011 earthquake. This building is leaning to the north (left) while it's now demolished neighbour was leaning to the south (right).
All because the crap land gave way underneath!
