WTF dude?
I was in Christchurch, I had been there for a year and a half. In September we had a very strong earthquake. A few things got broken and we had a couple of decent aftershocks. Fast forwarding to February 22nd: I was living in the CBD and had moved into a 120 year old house. It was 12.40pm and I stood up to go get some milk from the dairy but suddenly my friend Skype'd me so I sat back down to chat to him. It turns to 12.51pm and we had a really violent earthquake, I was screaming, part of the house got damaged in my room and I seriously though I was going to die. I was like jelly and my flatmate kicked down the door so he could get to me out (basically all my furniture had fell apart from my bed which I was sitting on). I definitely felt the fight or flight experience. So I get out of the house and across the road I see that two of the identical flats had been totalled. I then see the dairy that I was going to go to and it had been completely flattened. I legitimately thought I would have been crushed inside it.
