wow! that is so awful, and the earthquakes just keep happening.

 

[AmyW]

So sad and scary. So many people trapped and that's a well developed area, the damage is amazing (in a bad way). :cry:

It's horrific. Just finished talking to a friend who is living there, thankfully he is not near the earthquakes, though he knows people who are and is trying to get in touch with them.
I hugged my children a little longer and tighter today, life is so very precious.

It is just horrific. The area looks like a war zone. Sending prayers and good mojo their way.

We are thinking of everyone affected by this disaster XXXX

I've been watching nothing else on the television for the past two days. It's breaking my heart. Sending love and prayers to them all.

It is terrible it is all that is on the television here in NZ seems rather surreal it still seems like its overseas when you see it on TV here. So Sad!!!

I was home (due to my Mum dying) the two weeks before the big quake. I live not far from Christchurch and my girlfriend and I visited Christchurch regularly while so I could catchup with friends and family. I was amazed at the damage and saddened to see so many of the beautiful buildings I remember looking so grand when I was a university student (a thousand years ago), now looking ready to be brought down.

I was back in Oz when the last big one hit and I'm really finding it hard to believe that this is my fav city in my country.

I'm happy to report that all my family and friends in Christchurch are alive, although a few of them have had their houses damaged ... none has lost their main possession ... their life!

 

[Bubbles Galore]

I'm very sorry about your mum Kaz. I'm glad you weren't there when the big one came but it must have been an awful shock for you all the same.

Hi everyone,

I just stumbled across this thread.

I live in Christchurch and I am overwhelmed by everyones thoughts and comments. Its nice to know we are not alone in our grief.

Thank you for your prayers.

I am one of the lucky few who have power and water and suffered little damage, although my brother, sister and mother in law all lost their homes.

Its a very sad time for our nation. Its surreal living in a city with no puplic transport, no movie theatres, no restaurants....... The streets are cracked and in ruin, sand and dust fill your lungs and eyes, sewerage flows like rivers, and the ground shudders with over 5500 aftershocks.

60,000 people have fled the city and 3 suburbs have been declared un-repairable leaving 10's of 1000's homeless.

My thoughts too are with those who lost their lives, and the families they left behind. :cry:

You're always in our thoughts Busymakinsoap. So sorry for your family.
