A tad off topic, but as you guys may be aware, Canterbury in New Zealand (where I live) was whacked by a 7.1 quake a week or so ago. We're still getting several aftershocks in the 4.x range a day. [

List of recent quakes] I drive a desk these days, and it shakes about gently, and my wheely chair stays put...
I'm seeing guys in bucket trucks and cherry pickers fixing up buildings and stuff. And up scaff, and on big ladders. And balancing on roofs.
I can't quite imagine how much one would cr*p oneself if one were aways up high and the bucket starts bouncing around in an aftershock, with, of course, stuff falling down around one...
Scary.
