New Zealand (Auckland small quake)
Last night’s small earthquake in Auckland may have been small on the Richter Scale but it was still something for the history books.
It was similar in force to about five aftershocks that hit Christchurch yesterday but unlike Christchurch, Auckland not only rarely has earthquakes, it rarely feels them from surrounding regions either. $$$$$$
Earthquake-Report.com remark : We have highlighted the above article as we are experiencing the same story over and over again all around the world. People who are not used to earthquakes are scared to death when a mild tremor hits the area.

Structural Engineering Society president John Hare, a director of the Holmes consulting group, said today that he would “certainly expect” insurance companies to be more selective in future about which buildings they would insure. $$$
New Zealand (Christchurch demolition)
Another 72 buildings have been added to Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority’s list of buildings identified as needing full or partial demolition, or safety work to prop them up. $$$
