If I'm living in an area like that then I'm going to have to move because it's pretty much going to happen again.

Sure, it might not be financially easy to just pick up and leave but if the property you were living in was destroyed then those childhood memories are pretty much gone but I guess people don't like change so it would be hard for them to move.

Thing is with us here in Christchurch we don't know when we're going to have another.................they could stop next week for all we know

Why do you think I left after the February quake? I psychologically could not handle it anymore. Stupid pioneers for building on sand. I love Christchurch and want to go back, but there's nothing but turmoil and destruction left there. :(
