Looks like the main effected areas are coping well enough, the authorities seem to have everything under control although some of the effected residents seem to be camping out because of other possible future tremors.



Some have become quite distressed by the earthquake. The idea of having to be held in queue for an hour or so to call a call centre on a Saturday morning to handle their insurance claim to get the chimney fixed and to get the loose roof tiles fixed is causing some distress.



Although some appear to be excited at the thought of having some some firemen around for breakfast.



The causalty figures so far are 1 women with a minor head injury, although it is not know how the injury took place when the earth began to move.

The Police have quickly dealt with any possible criminal activity which could result in any break down in law and order. Potential troublemakers have been rounded up under the new ASBO laws.



Government geologists who are studing the earthquake can be seen here trying to master the Spider and Rabbit finger shadows but seemed to have failed to almost embarrasing extent.
