Default Here we go again

Another big earthquake in the night. centered around Kaikoura (north of Christ Church) and damaging buildings in the Wellington CBD. State Highway one is closed by major damage and slips. trains are not running from Christchurch as far north as Palmerston North. Dozens of after shocks around magnitude 6.0, the last one a few minutes ago. Cook straight ferries are not running due to the piers in Wellington being damaged.
Kaikoura is very steep with the state highway running right beside the coast. it has a number of road tunnels cut through the rock. Kaikoura is a tourist area which is known for whale watching.
I don't live in the area.
