ChCh Quake Again! (Full/Completed)
« on: Tuesday 22 February 11 01:12 GMT (UK) »
Hi again

Hands still shaking but we are o.k.
Cathedral has taken a direct hit, many people are hurt and in shock.
Was able to get the children from school.
Nerves are totally stuffed.

It was horrid.  Had to get children from two schools.  Took neighbours as well to get children, bugger the road code, they sat on each others knees.
People crying and shaking at the schools.  Not a nice scene.
Sounds as if there was a death.  Many hurt.  City is a mess as it was so close.
Hubby is fine, he just got out in time before all the carpet racks fell.  He was under them 2 minutes before it happened.  Now he is home.
I feel like being sick, it is so much worse than the 7.1.
Still getting aftershocks, real rumbles.

Oh Suzy  :(

Are your home and utility services ok?

Apart from valium is there anything you need?

Just bottled water a week ago, must of known.
Our house is fine, more cracks, but have not bothered looking.  Books fell out of book case and a few plates fell.
City is a bloody mess.
My neighbours are all fine, been keeping a close eye on the old folk.
Two buses crushed, may have people on them.
It is so worse than September for the city centre.
I broke down and cried when I saw the Cathedral fall.

Was the moon man right?  Still waiting on March.
