Nothing as striking as what you're seeing in the media, but this is what our local neighbourhood looks like along with a few pics of my house.
http://www.multi.net.nz/feb-22-aftershock/ Just heard on the radio now that the Hotel Grand Chancellor, our tallest hotel, is at risk of collapse. Apparently it's leaning and that lean may be worsening. That's quite a big building and if it goes it's going to cause absolute carnage in the surrounding area. I don' t know which way it's leaning... it it goes the "right" way it'll fall into a fairly open space with much less collateral damage. They're urgently evacuating a two block radius. There are only search & rescue teams in that area so it's not as big a job as it sounds. But another small aftershock could be all it takes to set it off.
