Still getting aftershocks in the 4 to 5 range here. The NZ Army has been called in to help secure access to the central business district (CBD) as the police are stretched so tight. The building inspectors are working their way through all the buildings in the CBD flagging each as Green (OK), Yellow (Use Caution) and Red (no way!). Hopefully, in a few days the situation for all buildings will be known.
I’m working at home today which I rather like. Working for a seriously high-tech company is a pleasure. We’ve all got VPN access to the systems at work and sitting here at my desk at home is just like sitting there, downtown.
The office was quite a mess though. Bookshelves tossed, plants toppled and general chaos. We had two engineers there on US coverage when the quake hit Saturday morning. I can’t even imagine what that would have been like up on the 10th floor.
