Robbie and Nicola watch Laura and a helpful neighbour remove the broken chimney.
The chimney busted right through the wooden beam holding up the roof. I'm told it may an alarming noise.
Yes, it was a joke. The tours, that is, not the yard filled with earthquake-caused sand volcanos. They were very real. You can see one covering the driveway in this photo. The signs read as follows.

Cracks in the roads and foot paths were surprisingly hard to find given the strength of the earthquake.
