My town has been destroyed - gaming cancelled

[jonesy]

Just thought I'd give an update. Its now two years later and the quakes have quietened down quite a bit. We've had over 11,000 now. The central city is still inaccessable and about 2/3 of the buildings have been demolished.Still quite a few still to go as well. We will be pretty much building a new city, but it will be magnificent.

How close or far from the worst quake area is the building effort taking place? Like, is the old town going to be right next to the new one?

Nope, we are building on top of the old one - so exactly the same place. Multiple reasons for that, but all of them are good.

There is still a reasonable chance of another big quake, but to be honest anything that might get knocked down already has been.

Two years later, many of us are still in limbo waiting for life to get normal again. But there are so many plans which mean this city will be better than it ever was, and it was pretty good before. The comunity spirit is incredible, and it has been forged in adversity. I have lived in interesting times and it has given me a great appreciation for what I have. Thanks for listening.

Good to hear you guys are coming back, resilient like tempered steel!
