It appears that the 7.1 magnitude earthquake we experienced last year had a particularly nasty sting in the tail. The vicious earthquake that ripped through the city on February 22nd was apparently 'just' an aftershock. We have endured 1000's of aftershocks in the past five months including a scary cluster on boxing day but we seemed to be coming to the end of them and were looking forward to the future. Now the heart of our city has been destroyed. Christchurch will be rebuilt but it will take years, maybe decades and it will be very different from the city we call home.
