Bloody hell, woke up at 6am to this. Hope everyone's alright down there.

Ella Thompson2026-07-16T19:33:40.000Z

facts bro they been hiding the big ones for years

Stuff2026-07-16T19:33:40.000Z

get stuffed mate, it's a natural event not a conspiracy. Some people just love a good drama.

As someone in the building industry, those old brick buildings in Te Anau are gonna be cactus. We all knew this was coming.

GeoNet says 'strong' shaking but let's see if any damage is actually found. Probably just a chimney and a few plates.

Kia kaha Te Anau whānau! Check on your neighbours if you can. ❤️

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T20:56:40.000Z

don't you start with the 'kIa KaHa' bollocks, we need real action not hashtags

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T20:23:40.000Z

yeah nah typical. nothing ever happens in this country anyway.

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T20:55:40.000Z

I think it's sweet that you care about the buildings instead of people. take your complaints elsewhere.

Rowan Blake2026-07-16T20:57:40.000Z

cope harder

Mason Young2026-07-16T20:38:40.000Z

I've been saying we need better building standards in alpine areas for years but nah, government too busy with cycle lanes.

Grace Patel2026-07-16T20:50:40.000Z

agree. but they gotta justify their budget somehow.
