House Shaken Pop's house suffered - the verandah has vanished, the western wall and roof received a battering, and parts gave up the struggle. This property was on the southern edge of the damaged zone. Our house, about half a kilometre further south, only had the western corner of the roof lifted and flopped down again, off it's supports. Great credit goes to a lot of people - Penny's school lost 131 windows, but all the children were kept safe by the teachers till the shocked parents arrived, fearing the worst, then being overcome by relief.
