Christchurch

Another huge earthquake in Christchurch.

Oh man, those poor people down there.

My thoughts are with them - and my Dad and partner who were holidaying in Christchurch, and have reported in as OK.

Glad to hear they are OK.
I haven't heard from my sister & her kids yet.



It may have been smaller, but the damaged buildings obviously couldn;t take it.
A death has been confirmed already.

Wow, again? My thoughts go out to those around Christchurch.

I just saw a photo of the Cathedral, what a shame.

Hope everyone from your family is ok candleman

Im inside the quake zone again ... roads were turning to liquid buildings falling ... NOT good
Im actually alot more scared of this one than any other

[candleman]

I just heard from my sister.. They are all OK.
Pretty shocking to hear the stories coming out already...

Glad you're ok NZMXr. Can't imagine the stress everyone is under down there.

candleman, really glad to hear the family is ok.

Just had another MAJOR aftershock

[graciousness]

Oh dear neighbours, it's all so awful. We really didnt' need another disaster in our shores....

I can really empathise (or is it sympathise?) with those who are affected - I used to live in LA and experienced the big earthquake back in the 90's ( I think that's the year) and I was scared out of my wits. You roam around, get scared again because of aftershocks, and then you feel awfully lucky that you didn't suffer anymore than rattled nerves when you see and hear how others had lost so much, including their lives.

Im glad to hear your families are well!! I'd be out of my mind if I had family and friends there right now.

Glad to see you're on line NZMXr, I was wondering about you.

The TV coverage shows what an appalling mess it is.
