How Much Damage Has The Earthquake 7.5 Magnitude Left?
The 7.5 magnitude earthquake on 14 November on early monday morning in Culverden New Zealand. It left people with no houses electricity, food, water. Roads were ripped, there were destroyed buildings. Which meant some business had to be closed.
Roads Damaged
Roads have been completely damaged or blocked by slips in Canterbury and Marlborough making it even more difficult for services to help people that are stranded or hurt. 
Trains and ferries have been shut down because of all the damage. A slip near Kaikoura has blocked State highway 1 and has pushed the railings out of place.
Deaths
Two people have died after the earthquake one died after the Elms Homestead was completely destroyed and the other died in a property at Mt Lyford from a heart attack. Some people are still missing after this massive earthquake.
Ruined business
Because of the closer of state highway 1 a cafe in cheviot is not getting any customers and are wondering how they will survive. 
With the same reason a farmer in Kaikoura has excess milk because government are not allowing milk trucks to come on state highway 1 because of the damage and the farmer is having to let the milk down the liquid waste. But the farmer says “That if they can get fuel tankers in they should be able to at least let milk trucks because they are the same weight,”
Help on the way
The Ministry Of Civil Defence & Emergency Management and other services have been helping people after the earthquake’s extraordinary damage.
The Ministry Of Civil Defence & Emergency Management are trying to open small businesses in Kaikoura, Cheviot, Waiau, Rotherham, Mt Lyford and Ward, who felt a really big shake from the earthquake. They will also will be giving money to the people who will be running the businesses that have been opened.
This Earthquake has left a lot of damage, destroyed business, ripped and blocked roads, left people without homes, food or water.
Thankfully The Ministry Of Civil Defence & Emergency Management have helped to repair some damages and have been trying to open some small business. Their work will be continuing for a few more weeks.

Earthquake Report
Kaikoura Earthquake
Houses, roads and businesses have been destroyed due to the huge 7.5 magnitude earthquake that struck Culverden but shook the whole country on Monday the 14th of November at precisely 12:03am.
Just a fraction of the major damage from the earthquake.
Residents of Kaikoura have been evacuated and are now safe and sound. A tsunami warning was issued and there was predicted to be waves of up to 2 metres in height but 24 hours later was dismissed.
Huge Amount of Damage
There has been a huge amount of damage to the country but Wellington, Culverden and Kaikoura have especially weathered the worst. Volunteers and Civil Defence workers have started to clear the rubble. The Wellington CBD has been closed until further notice due to the amount of broken objects that are hazardous to people.
Deaths
Fortunately there have only been two deaths. One person was trapped under rubble and was crushed. The other had an earthquake related heart attack. It was just fortunate that the earthquake happened in the middle of the night and not in the middle of the day when everyone was outside.

Kaikoura Earthquake?
What Happened in the Kaikoura Earthquake 2016?
Monday 14th November, at around
00:02 was when it struck. Kaikoura’s
many buildings came crashing down.
Two lives were lost, one from a
building collapsing and another from
a heart attack, also one person was
injured from the collapsation.
“There was rubble everywhere”
one woman stated. “The road had
been lifted along with the ground
a-and the houses had just… fallen
apart... I honestly didn’t think I
would make it!” a man cried.
Along with many frightened people,
the buildings had turned into dust and
ash. Throughout the quake, there had
been 16 robberies. The quake was a
7.5 along with four aftershocks: Two
6.5’s, one 6.0 and one 5.6. According
to scientists, the Pacific plate had
collided with the Australian plate, which
caused the massive earthquake. Along
with the big quake, a tsunami warning
spread throughout New Zealand. All
the people living near a beach had to
be ushered to higher grounds.
So the earthquake was caused by two
tectonic plates. For the Pacific had collided
with the Australian. For further information

Lucky That We Didn’t Moove
The midnight quake that originated in Kaikoura, left two cows and a calf stranded on a tiny island of grass after the earthquake triggered landslides all around them. Some calf’s from the stranded cows family are believed to be dead which was leaving the mother distressed and refusing to be lifted up by the helicopter.
The earthquake was a severe seven point five magnitude which was located fifteen kilometres north of Kaikoura and was felt all over New Zealand. There has been more than 3766 aftershocks since Monday and that is hopefully going to be the total. It was much stronger than the 2011 Christchurch quake which was only a five point nine magnitude, but only two human (and a couple cows) fatalities occurred in the Kaikoura quake, whereas the Christchurch one left one hundred and eighty people dead.
This one image left residents of New Zealand, and the world, shocked as it shows how destructive the earthquake really was. This photo shows a hill in some farmland that has a crack running through it from the force of the earthquake, the farm was not far from where the cows were left stranded.
The 7.5 Kaikoura earthquake left three cows stranded on an island of grass after landslides happened all around them, feeling very distressed as their loved ones would have died. This was one of the strongest earthquakes in New Zealand history but only left us with two deaths and a lot of damage done to Kaikoura, especially farmlands, Wellington and Christchurch.
Especially farmlands…
