Just got an email from a relative, they are fine, but can't get to hubby's 90 odd year old mother whose chimney had fallen through kitchen roof. :'(  They are 8km's away and police are telling people not to go on the roads.

A few strong aftershocks.  I would say this is a completely different quake to 4th of Septembers.  Totally in a different area, and close to the top of the ground.

People are missing, fires have occurred in the city.  Make shift emergency triage in and around Christchurch.

We have been lucky, still have full phone use and power.

Worried about a neighbours mother, she was talking to her on the phone when it happened, and she was screaming, then the phone went dead.  No one home at the moment to see if she is alright.

All is quiet at the moment.  Will attempt to start some dinner.

And we thought we had it tough in the floods... at least we had warnings and time to prepare and escape.

My thoughts are with you all over there.  Scary thing was my MIL was up in the Cathedral Spire this time last week.....
