The Earthquake Commission calls a householder and tells him the 'good news' that his house which was left by the earthquakes in 'such an angle you couldn't live in it' has been refloated by the recent heavy rain and is now level again. The 'bad news' is that the house was last seen floating in the sea off Sumner.
In June 2013 heavy rains had caused flooding in Canterbury. Christchurch was affected especially in the liquefaction prone areas, where the ground had sunk because of the earthquakes.

A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "What a view from Nicholson Park on Scarborough. People enjoying Sumner Beach with South Brighton spit across the estuary entrance, the estuary at low tide and behind, the settling ponds and the city with its abundance of trees. Snow covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. Pity about the smoke haze this afternoon".
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!
