I guess I was jumpin' up & down to hard on the Wood Bros. win...
But seriously, we hope your all ok "down there"...
please let us know how you all are as soon as you guys can.
Most the kiwi guys on here live further north. There is more damage with this quake (6.3) than the September one (7.1).
Hearing a lot of fatalities...watch this space.
My thoughts are with all down south..
Well, we are in Christchurch and its been a tough day. A big earthquake frightens the stuffing out of you.
The rescue people are focusing on rescuing people from buildings and cars today & they hope they will be able to move onto securing property tomorrow.
We are okay here, but the folk in the middle of the city took a hammering, and unlike our september 2010 earthquake, this time it hit during the day so we have buses flattened by falling buildings, and unfortunately, fatalities and serious casualties.
Everytime the ground shakes, you wonder if its going to be lights out for you.
This earthquake was predicted by a local weather guru, Ken Ring, based on sunspot activity.
Heres his website - its spooky in its predictions

Sadly the four storey office building in Cambridge Terrace that houses Marsh Ins. Brokers has totally collapsed. For those that might not remember,Marsh Ins. was called something like Marsh,.... and .... and there head office was based in one of the World Tower buildings in New York when that shocking act happened and now disaster has struck them again,but this time here in New Zealand. You may wonder why I know this .....well my x wife works for them and as I sit and type this we,the family, only know that she is still trapped in the building and we don't know if she is alive or dead and it is pure hell. And yes she is my x wife but I have always loved her as the mighty person she is.
hope all turns out okay for you whip, devastating event for the whole community.
Gee that puts a shiver down my spine. The place is still shaking - had another one about 3 minutes ago. The rescuers are awesome, going in and risking their own lives to try and save others.Quote:
