A common scene around Christchurch, following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that hit the city on Saturday September 4, 2010 at around 4:33am. The shake left many roads cracked, buildings demolished, and flooding in the streets.
The chimney busted right through the wooden beam holding up the roof. I'm told it may an alarming noise.

Laura and her neighbour getting the chimney down before it comes through their ceiling. Ominous cracks were growing in the ceiling.

The September Canterbury earthquake. These pictures were taken of Colombo Street in Sydenham. A lot of masonry in this area has been damaged/fallen down. Note: these photos were taken on a cellphone; mind the quality.

Our neighbours, Laura and Robbie, were unlucky enough to have their chimney fall into the roof rather than off the house.
This one was really flowing out of the ground.
