During today's open home we went for a wee drive in the surrounding countryside towards the epicentre of the quake. It was a 20 minute round trip, we're that close!
Picture this. You're driving down a road you know is straight and flat because you've been down it before. However it's not anymore. It has a hill in the middle of it and the road now has a sharp bend - the entire road has been displaced 2m to the right.
This one was the kicker. Picture a 8-10m high pine shelter belt. Planted straight. Been there for many years. Except these ones now have a kink in them - the shelter belt has been displaced 2m to the right.
Also saw pine trees, at least 20m tall, ripped out of the ground.
Wow.
