Our neighbours, Laura and Robbie, were unlucky enough to have their chimney fall into the roof rather than off the house.

A collapsed wall above the windows of a brick house on Centaurus Road. Bricks have fallen into the building and left a hole.
The roof of St John the Baptist Church on Latimer Square. Masonry has tumbled into the building, tearing a hole in the roof and exposing the inside of the church.
A typical "sand volcano" caused by liquefaction where the soil loses its strength during the earthquake and the silt rises upwards, ejecting out of a hole like magma in a volcano.

The dairy on the corner of Woodham and Gloucester Street. The top wall has collapsed onto the footpath, the hole covered by a tarpaulin. Road cones and fencing have been placed around the building.
The collapsed brick wall along the side of a house in Christchurch. A tarpaulin has been placed over a hole to prevent weather damage to the inside of the building. Ironically, it is being held down by bricks.

A sand volcano in the Halswell Primary School grounds. Sand volcanoes were caused by liquefaction where the soil loses its strength during the earthquake and the silt rises upwards, ejecting out of a hole like magma in a volcano.

The driveway of a house on Avonside Drive. One of the concrete slabs has lifted and the owner has tried to fill the gap with blocks of wood. Unfortunately, these have come loose and are sticking out of the hole.
A photograph of the earthquake damage to the Cranmer Courts on the corner of Montreal and Kilmore Streets. On of the gables has crumbled, the masonry falling to the footpath. A tarpaulin has been used to cover the hole.
A dairy on the corner of Gloucester and Woodham Streets. The top wall of the building has crumbled onto the street. A tarpaulin has been placed over the hole to prevent weather damage inside the building. Fencing and road cones cordon off the building along the street.
St Luke's church on the corner of Manchester and Kilmore Streets. Tape and fencing have been placed around the building to keep people away. There is damage to the top of the gable, and tarpaulins covering the hole to prevent weather damage to the inside of the building.
A photograph of the earthquake damage to the entrance of a driveway on Glenarm Terrace. A large hole in the foreground has had a road cone placed inside it. Other large cracks and liquefaction can bee seen. A man in overalls has parked his van next to the damage.
Laura Young and I tying down tarps over the hole in the roof. We did what we could to tie it down with tension and weigh it down with bricks tied to the tarps. Why? Because gale-force winds are predicted for tomorrow (Sunday) and rain on Tuesday.
A photograph of the earthquake damage to the Cranmer Courts on the corner of Montreal and Kilmore Streets. A chimney has fallen from the roof, damaging many of the roof tiles.
