Story: Historic earthquakes
The weather was fine and warm in the days after the earthquake, and many people chose to camp on the streets with rugs, mattresses and a few household possessions. Because violent aftershocks continued to jolt the city, they felt that it was safer to remain outdoors. These people have gathered on the foreshore at Marine Parade.
