friends in chch say it was worse than the biggie last year....

Just heard that there was another huge earthquake :tears:

How is everyone and their fishies in Christchurch?

but he said there are dead bodies in the street and they can't get their vehicle out of the car park building so a friend is going to try and get them home

Oh god how terrible. I've seen a bit of footage on the tv in the office. They had an aftershock live on tv and people were screaming, running and the camera quickly panned to the Cathedral church were more of it was falling to the ground. Sent shivers down my spine both times I saw it. Absolutely horrible.

Have the news streaming at work, two buses crushed. Fatalities in multiple areas. Such a tragedy, hope you all in Christchurch are safe and my thoughts are with everyone with family and friends in Christchurch that are out of touch.

Hope everyone is okay.

Yeah I am thinking of all the people I know down there I hope you are all ok have sent a few texts but no answer news footage does not look good

My thoughts are with you all down in Christchurch...hope you, family, friends and animals are all safe and well

I'm a wreck and that's being 2 hours away. We're feeling the shakes but no damage. Work today seems so pointless while this is all unfolding, being an ex ambulance officer, I'm feeling so bloody helpless down here. Stay safe Cantabrians

I have heard from Jennifer, she is ok, house not so lucky, water sloshed everywhere but no fishy losses.

plus 1

I have heard from Jennifer, she is ok, house not so lucky, water sloshed everywhere but no fishy losses.

happy she is ok, just saw her facebook and is relieved she is fine. Any news from Donna yet?

I have text Antwan and he text back to say he and BDspider are ok. Water went sloshing from tanks and fish surfed into the next room. No damage though.

I am sure they will update as soon as facilities allow.

Horrible

Very little damage at their house, thank goodness. A lot of water out of the tanks again but nothing major broken this time. They borrowed a friend's car to get home. No idea when they can get theirs (or what condition it is in) from the car park building i town.

I hear the Copthorne Hotel has collapsed with many trapped inside

It was severely damaged last time I think.

If there is anything any of us can do for those of you affected, even if it is accommodation away from shaky ground!, just ask.

Caryl, apparently its not the Copthorne, it was the PGG building. Over 200 people work in those offices, including Marsh Insurance brokers who we deal with a bit..

I could offer accommodation for a couple of people maybe, we don't have a spare bed, we do have an airbed though... and the spare room is a bit of a mess at the moment.. but the most important thing is that its not shaking.

Dennis's house is not in good shape from what I hear. :tears: :tears: :tears:

Not good at all.

I can't get through to my father down there. He's 88 years old and lives alone. I do hope he's okay. He's in Bishopdale so heres hoping.

Look guys, his (dennis's) tank is completely broken - Need temp accomodation for L191 pleco and some acaras / firemouths and BGK.

House is likely uninhabitable.

Can any one down there help? txt me on 0272493674 and ill put you in touch with him.

hope everyone else out there is ok.
