Hmm... what movie was talking about plates moving and the world looking dramatically different in like 10 years.

Do we have any FOFC members that live down there? The reports are saying most of the city is without electricity and water service.

Talked to a visiting Kiwi (New Zealander) friend who was in Chicago yesterday and the main thing he had to say was surprise it happened near Christchurch, as opposed to other parts of the country. There will be a fair amount of infrastructure to replace, but it's a pretty rich country and should be fine. Just glad no one died.
