Description

Introduction -- Monday : the first few hours -- Monday : Kaikōura by air, and Mt Lyford -- Tuesday : getting out and getting on -- Wednesday : exodus by sea -- After Wednesday : the long road to recovery -- November : second trip -- Afterword -- A message from New Zealand Red Cross.;'It was one of the most violent earthquakes ever felt. Arriving by stealth after midnight on November 14, the Kaikōura magnitude 7.8 and its aftershocks shook New Zealand's heartland to its core and created a damage zone of epic proportions. Capturing the drama as it unfolded, Surviving 7.8 is a tough but fascinating study in resilience. Throughout the narrative are stories from the people affected--locals and tourists alike--covering the immediate reaction, the uncertainty and the turmoil, as well as the do-it-yourself attitude and steely resolve that defines who we are as Kiwis."--Page 4 of cover.
