Re: Earthquake in the long white cloud
I echo that Mark, it is a mess and power is down for most of Christchurch and rural Canterbury so our " family " may not be able to let us know for some time.I wonder how Ladybird is, I don't know if they would have had a bad shake or not.Hanmer is not that far from Christchurch in cases such as these.

Re: Earthquake in the long white cloud
Christchurch lass reporting in. Have a MASSIVE headache. I have stitches in the back of my head - apparently I fainted during the earthquake, gashed the back of my head as I fell, now have 3 stitches, also knocked my forehead , lovely bruise there too and must have landed on my bonier bum as well as that is very tender. Rest of family fine, including extended family - no obvious damage to property at this stage, pool tried to empty itself over the lawn - very wierd to see it so empty, only one broken ornament so far. I know many others have suffered a lot of property damage, am feeling very lucky. Kitchen survived unscathed - quite miraculous that things haven't fallen all over the place. Feeling very very thankful that we appear to have got off so lightly.
Still about 70% of CHCH without power so may take a while for others to report in. Internet only just been restored here but will still be out for others. Andrea |

We are all fine. Kids have been a mess though. Lots of damage to stuff in our house and have only just got power back. Main thing is that we are ok. |

Re: Earthquake in the long white cloud
What a day. All safe with us, friends and family. Thank God!
Master 2 was a bit shaken then fell asleep under the dining table where we camped out during the after shocks. Hope to hear from other Canterbury members over the course of the day. Stay safe. ff x |

Re: Earthquake in the long white cloud
We are all fine, lots of broken glass, books everywhere and our wardrobe clothes rail collapsed. Power on at about 11.30 this morning. Have a gas fire so that kept us warm and camping stove came in handy for cuppas for the neighbours. One has two broken chimneys but otherwise OK. Just checking the computer going!

Re: Earthquake in the long white cloud
They say this is a new fault line thru Christchurch that wasn't there previously. And this means......??? I don't think I want to know to be honest

Hi FF,
Quote:
If it is someone else, then who? What are their creds? Having grown up in NZ, I was of the opinion that ALL of NZ is on a fault line... or, read as, right on the edge of opposing tectonic plates. Even the story we learned (in the 1950's, in school) were saying that the South Island was "the fish of Maui" - he hauled it up from the depths.... Doesn't that sound a lot like what happens on the borders of tectonic plates????? Makes sense to me.... Koh

Fabulous. 2022 quakes.
7 year old girls don't like 5.0, shallow after shocks - neither does their teacher. I am a bloody good actress! |
