I have seen no pictures of the current site but the quakes have downed several more buildings and many more are now added to the list of those that will need to be demolished. It will become a ghost town if this continues to happen. People are sick of the shocks and more are leaving as they are scared of living here. Many were injured and two are still in hospital with serious injuries. Existing delays in repair payments from the Government are causing considerable grief and anger with the people here and this is likely to add to it. New Zealanders have paid a national insurance scheme for earthquake coverage for decades and that should be available but it seems to not be forthcoming in any reasonable timeframe unfortunately. The mob is getting their pitchforks sharpened and torches ready; Gerry Brownley, Minister for EQC, had better beware!
