Imagine being at the baths and a 7.1 magnitude earthquake happens. That is exactly what happened at Menfriends Cruise Club and Sauna<\/strong><\/u><\/a> in Christchurch, New Zealand. Talk about the earth literally moving during a hookup!<\/p>\n

Menfriends Cruise Club and Sauna co-owner Stuart Yeatman<\/strong><\/u><\/a> tells the Gay New Zealand that there were "luckily no more than a dozen patrons at the three-storey venue when the quake hit at 4.35am. There was general disbelief when it hit," he says. "It was very violent and went on and on for around a minute and a half. Everything was moving violently, there was loud noise and it was very shocking for staff and patrons."<\/p>\n

Though the power went off instantly, the emergency lighting kicked in. Allowing quick evacuation. Most patrons managed to get dressed and exit the premises.<\/p>\n

"They evacuated the place smoothly and I am very impressed with how they reacted. No one was injured in the earthquake or the evacuation."<\/p>\n

It might be a week to ten days before reopening, as structural engineers are evaluating the safety of the building. For now only business owners and their trades people are allowed back in.<\/p>\n
