Awful stuff for gardening, but oh so good for earthquakes.
It probably wobbles a bit, but no sand or water can penetrate.

But the 6.3 must have jolted things off shelves etc. We lost a lot of stuff from both angles of the house as in a right triangle.

Yes, of course, but no structural or foundation damage.
The worst thing was a bottle of turps that fell off a shelf in the garage and broke open. The smell of turps permeated through the whole house and stayed for days. Yuk!!!

Being on sand, we got shunted about pretty bad, back foundation dropped about an inch, cracks in summerhill stone pointing.

Bottle of maldison spray fell from the ceiling joist, we have been spraying the area with jeyes fluid ever since, but it's getting more bearable as time goes by.
