That's horrible! My mom has a friend in Christchurch. We haven't heard from her since before the 7.0 quake last year.

My wife is in tears, looking at the pictures. We were quite captivated by the city when we were there four years ago. My mother was there less than a week ago. We worry about our friends there.
Our condolencess to those who are directly affected, and our hearts go out to all Kiwis who feel the loss of this treasure of the South Island.

He lives near Wellington, on the North Island - well away from the affected area.

Yep, I'm fine, thanks.
Amazing scenes on TV tonight of a house that had a big rock, probably at least two metres wide, roll down a hill above, right through the centre of the house, demolishing two or three walls on its way, out the other side and further down the hill, stopping beside a road. Fortunately the family in the house had all left it temporarily a little earlier.

The day I left New Zealand, there was a lahar on Mt. Ruapehu. The day my mom left, Christchurch had this earthquake. At first I thought that maybe my family shouldn't visit New Zealand - But then I realized that we just shouldn't leave New Zealand. Obscure?

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

Hi. I'm ok. I left Christchurch for a few days after the Feb 22nd quake until after power and water was back on. Think Japan has more problems than us right now.

Wouldn't it be more . . . Christian . . . to lament for their problems, too?
