Hey Everyone

After spending the last 5 days scared stiff ... I got power at work thru a generator

I know you may not know and this probably not where it goes but just to let you know

Christchurch New Zealand where I live suffered a major quake 7.1 Sept 4th 2010 we were lucky some major damage but no fatalities. it was 40km away and 10km deep

On Tuesday we got hit with a smaller quake 6.3 but only 10km away and very shallow 5km deep
this was a very nasty one 147 fatalities so far major damage to CBD are buildings have collapsed . My family are fine bu the house is badly damaged and we have no power or water etc .... NZ has declared a state of emergency and help has come from all over the world.

A huge thank to all countries that have help we have over 700 search and rescue guy combing collapsed buildings and are flat out trying to make sense of this mess .

Liquification is an amazing thing but theres 100s of thousands of tonnes silt inundating the eastern suburbs ... we will get there

Thanks for listening is appreciated I have power thru a generator at work so I can talk this way ... its going to many years fixing this but

Check on the web TVNZ or stuff.co.nz and you will see

Appreciate what you have hug your loved ones who knows what tommorrow will bring

Take care all Mike (Crocky)

Glad to hear that you're okay Crocky.

Wobbly (now Azpreto - sp?) has already checked in with some amazing photos. Apparently his house is okay with minor damage and his family is okay - but his boss is living in a tent now.

I hope you and everyone else down there are okay. Hope no more fatalities arise and that survivor's are found. Being Australian born these earthquakes are highly unusual in this region to say nothing of the devastating floods in North Eastern Australia. Flooding yes but not to this extreme level. Both Australia and New Zealand are really taking a beating from the weather this year. Nothing this severe that I can ever remember.

Take care.

Tony
