My niece and her husband live in Christchurch. My sister (her mother) just passed this on to us...
Quote: |
.... H* and M* are OK. Although, it seems like M* can't get home as the bridge across the Waimakariri River is down. There is major damage to highways, and overpasses. There is no power in most of Christchurch, and water mains are broken and flooding the streets, hampering rescue efforts.
THE NEWS REPORTS ARE NOT EXACGERATED. Whereas the 7.1 earthquake occurred at 4am in the morning, the downtown area was basically deserted and there was no traffic. This quake struck just before noon Tuesday and downtown was crammed with workers. Buildings have collapsed, buses have been crushed by falling debris. The military is in full operation to rescue people and shore up buildings. There is widespread devastation and loss of life this time.
The damage I saw when I was there after the Sept 7th Earthquake was devastating, compared to what I've experienced in Los Angeles. Whole business offices downtown collapsed in upon themselves. THEN, there were no employees in them. NOT The case this time.
Buildings are torn in half, many collapsed, some escaped with their lives. Not everyone did. It’s REALLY Bad this time. The CHRISTCHURCH CATHEDRAL (After which the city is named) had almost NO damage last time.
Over 200 people are still trapped in the Pyne Building in downtown which has completely collapsed. Screams can be heard from inside. Hospitals are majorly damaged and being evacuated, water is bubbling up from broken rubble in the streets. |
Our prayers go out to all of them. |

In New Zealand, but on another island and miles away from the earthquake.
But the place is a real mess. 65 dead and counting.
The same place had a bigger earthquake last Sepember, but that one was at 4am - so no-one was on the streets and fatalities were zero.
Today's one struck just after lunch when the city was packed with people.

I grew up in Dunedin but did spend quite a bit of time in Christchurch and surrounding districts staying with family. So very sad and all our love and thoughts go out to those who have lost loved ones in this disaster. We are waiting to hear of family but can only hope that 'no news is good news'.
As we now live in Queensland, and all that the state has had to cope with the whole family is saying that the northern hemisphere is looking decidedly safe to move to now. |

I heard about this on the World Service during the night.
Just seen the pictures on the BBC news site.
My heart goes out to you all in NZ and to those worrying about family and friends |

Thanks, guys.
The top of that church pictured.... there were tourists up there, enjoying the view of the city.
They're now on the ground, under the rubble - alive or dead. |

Awful. I have fond memories of a weekend spent in Christchurch, and lots of photos of a quiet, calm place.
I watch the reports with a sense of disbelief. I think my inlaws (on a World cruise) were there last week.
My deepest condolences to anyone affected. |

Got a friend in New Brighton - the whole suburb has been described as unliveable. I presume she is alright as it's mainly single storey dwellings there.
Here in the North Island, though the shock was apparently felt in the bottom third, the main result was a massive overloading of the phone systems.
My son was in Chch till recently. Glad he got out. |

There's a picture of the foot of that cathedral tower on the BBC news website, just a large pile of rubble. If anyone was up there .... nuff said.

My daughter has a friend living and working in Christchurch.
She's just heard through his family that he's ok, no more details
It must be awful when even emergency services are badly hit, makes me grateful that me and mine are safe and well |

Yes, I've just read that at least one team from Los Angeles, Calif. is on its way to you. They are very experienced (for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately), and hopefully will be of assistance.
Times like these I just wanna waive my magic wand and make it all better. |
