Giagantic Crack



I spent most of this week (and will spend most of next week) mapping lateral spreading and doing soil testing in Kaiapoi. But the geotechnical department at the university got funding for it from the New Zealand Earthquake Commission- so at least we are getting paid now!
This one crack running through an entire street was over a meter wide and separated houses from garages!

  2. It is nuts. The sad part is that many of these houses are brand new.
