Shocking, shocking terrible news.
Devastation worse than Sept earthquakes. Many trapped.
Our hearts go out.
Not sounding good guys seeing reports of hundreds being trapped in buildings people pinned under desks
Shocking news 65 dead already and lots more expected, best wishes to all you kiwis from us in oz
That's alarming....and here we were looking across the Tasman at floods & tropical cyclones & more floods & thinking we were on the safe side of the Tasman. Of course we have a very shortsighted viewpoint of geological processes...what with lake Taupo being the site of an enormous volcanic explosion & Auckland full of slumbering volcanic cones. Total sympathy/best wishes for those in christchurch....they're probably having a very frightening series of aftershocks also
Day two three hundred still missing , I hope these guys are ok , We have earth quakes in this country all the time and I have seen a few bad ones but this one is the mother of all .
yep its **** house. Thanks for all your nice words......I am lucky as all family and friends are fine. Many others not so lucky. Hope standupper and BP and their loved ones are fine. Fingers crossed. Presently in Tamworth at a conference but heading to chch on Friday night to do some post disaster work. Scary. It looks aweful and I am not really looking forward to it. Hope all is well with you south island breezers.
Bring your Valium Ted shes still shaking , we have had 55 people flown in here for dialysis , you don't think of things like that .
Hi, Guys
Things are bad here, It was unexpected and it hit with no warning and was so rough and hard hitting, I am now away form the area after my wife was missing for the night but now found.
Im not sure about standupper but his area is hit hard as well and they have been evacuated as has the whole area he lives in due to the cliffs being cracked and bolders falling off the hills.
The damage and loss of life is hard, and i cant put it into words, but all i can say is i am well and my thought go out to standupper and hope he is well and his wife and baby are ok.
A lot of people left chch as this was unexpected and no idea of what is next, And if we have another big one on top of this it will kill almost everything
The pictures you see on tv etc is just the city but but the suburbs are like this as well, and bugger all roads left or bridges left to cross as things are sinking still
Thanks for the update and info BP.. .. It seems to be going from bad to worse.. It's good to hear that you and your wife ar ok.

Good to hear you are ok BP just hope standupper is ok too.I can't think of anything that comes close to this in this country.
Hey guys just got some internet access so having a browse of seabreeze to relieve the stress. My family is ok but we lost our house and are staying with friends for now. My parents and inlaws also lost their houses. No paddling for a while, boards are in storage and sea is full of sewage!!
Take care everyone
That's bloody awful. I'm sorry to hear that you are going through some really difficult times, hope it all works out for you. Don't really know what to say.
.... Thanks for letting us know you're ok and still with us.
Hope your situation gets better soon , my thoughts go out to our kiwi neighbours.
I was in Padang in September 09 and it was the most frightening thing I have ever experienced my thoughts go out to you guys, safe passage.
Great to hear your alright hope its not too long before you get a paddle
