How are our Christchurch Adv friends?

Good to hear you are OK Ryan. Emails at work were saying staff were OK at both buildings but no word on how those out to lunch had fared.

Thoughts are with those that are still unaccounted for.

felt it when i was working and all lights started to move but no wind outside ... hope everybody is ok

Cheers guys, scary stuff, I was right in town when it hit but escaped unharmed, saw some pretty disturbing scenes of injured people though. We have been so lucky with two major quakes, multiple significant aftershocks, and no fatalities, the epic force of this one in the middle of a working day has however changed our luck for the worst. Full credit to the rescue teams doing a fantastic job, hopefully more people will be rescued alive and well

Thanks for the text messages guys, I live Avonhead / Sockburn area and thankfully damage pretty minimal out our way, my thoughts are with the family and friends of the trapped people and those with damaged houses

That was a big one, thoughts with those still in the cbd. Everything else doesnt matter at the moment.

Yep got wacked on the head by my desk as I started to crouch. Just a bump, no blood.
Factory a mess but home ok except the land around it has changed a bit.
Still no power at my place so have moved my freezer in to Janets one and am there for the afternoon.

Just taken chimney down. Dug hole out back for toilet. Have power and water still. Unfortunately no petrol for the bike and sounds like most garages empty

Got a full tank of diesel in the Prado thankfully.

Anybody know where Crim lives? Maybe he is close enough to drop past?

Cheers R

I have his address, but not here at work. I stayed there during the week after the DB.

He's right out the North east in a new suburb just out of town.

Thats not good. Bit of a generalisation but those new north eastern suburbs didn't fair to well last time. In saying this Kaiapoi has faired better this time.

If you get the address and still not heard from Crim later I'll try and go for a drive.

Cheers R

I was in ChCh when it hit so know what you guys are going through - what a mess.
Going back up tomorrow to help out some mates in the suburbs. So if anyone wants anything, please let me know.

All good here.....family all safe, property not that flash but will be liveable with power and water on. Thoughts go out to those less fortunate than me!
