Prayin' for the best outcome Whip man.

Whip,
My and my wife's prayers go out to you and your family and that your X will be found alive and well. Same goes to all the rest of you Kiwis, hope all Persons and Rods are well. Keep us posted.
Having been born and raised in Ca., Eureka and the Bay Area, I am no stranger to quakes and experienced moderate one here in the Puget Sound some years ago. You never get used to them.

Keep safe,

Jack.

OMG Whip, so sorry to hear that. Prayers go out for your ex as well as everyone else affected. Please let us know when you have more news.

Don

Prayers sent for your Xwife Whip.

I can't added any thing that hasn't already been said.
Prayers go out to everyone down under....joe

Thanks,everyone,,even though we are in the North Island,,I had a restless night last night,,its a major disaster down there.Its just so unbelievable,that some are dead,and some,just a few metres away survive..Rescuers are checking the remains of flattened cars,to see if they were occupied at the time,and I just heard a story,where a woman walked out of one building to have a cigarette,and the quake hit,and the building collapsed behind her..
We have some good friends down there,and so far they all appear to be ok..Our prayers go out to all those down there,and we hope there is not too much loss of life,although the 32 confirmed is too much..

I've got a brother and several friends in the area.
So far I've heard nothing, but I'm hoping that that's good news.
To Todd and Whiplash, I hope it turns out all good for you and your loved ones.
I heard that Tombstone (Terry) is safe, although his house is demolished and his kids are very traumatised by the experience.
He was doing some art-work for Noddy for the Beach Hop, and also for Cal for the Hot Rod Revue.
Both of them have told him to forget about it...suddenly; deadlines don't matter any more...what seemed important yesterday is suddenly totally irrelevant.
It's humbling too, to hear the outpourings of prayers and kind wishes from our overseas friends in New Zealand's hour of tragedy...thank-you one and all.

AmeriCARna was one of the best Meguiar's shows I've seen in a long time. . . Gotta love the New Zealanders!!!!

Prayers are out for all the NZ'ers. The pictures are incredible. Sent an e-mail out to friends who are vacationing in that area. They replied that they left 22 hrs. before the quake. Visited the Cathedral and was staying 3 blocks away. They said they were feeling lucky and also sad for all the people that are suffering.

Very sad news with so many deaths and casualties.NZ is having a tough time with the mining disaster and now this.Have friends in ChCh and thankfully they are safe.Looks like many are still not accounted for so there must be many families having a very hard time.

Its not good down there,Roger..I think theres 65 confirmed dead,still about 300 missing,and now,rescue attempts are hampered by the possibility that one of the buildings they are trying to get into may collapse completely..There is a 6.30pm curfew in the city now,which started 30 minutes ago..There are the odd looters out there too..hope they get caught and jailed..

Our prayers are with you in this time of tragedy. We just heard that a United Airlines plane is due to leave at midnite with a search and rescue team as well as high tech equipment to help in finding people in the rubble hopefully still alive. This team was very successful in Haiti and is very well trained. We will hope and pray they ate successful in their rescue mission.

A dumb question, but are earthquakes common in that area?
