This originally straight farm fence has been laterally displaced at least 2 metres where it crosses the previously unknown faultline from which the Saturday 4 September 2010 earthquake originated.
Looking along this previously unknown faultline that runs through this paddock, note how the ground had heaved and subsided; magnitude 7.1 earthquake in mid-Canterbury on Saturday 4 September 2010.
The faultline cuts across Telegraph Road, leaving a kink in its originally straight alignment; aftermath of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake in mid-Canterbury on Saturday 4 September 2010.

Hehehe ..... did the surveyors get the road setout wrong? This previously straight road is now kinked across this previously unknown faultline along which the Saturday 4 September 2010 magnitude 7.1 earthquake originated.

The farmer swore that his fence was erected in a straingt line, but mother nature had other ideas! Aftermath of the Saturday 4 September 2010 magnitude 7.1 earthquake at the previously unknown faultline along which the quake originated.
