I'll put some photos up soon but here is a site with pictures of the damage. Christchurch earthquake's destruction - National - NZ Herald Pictures
State of emergency has been declared, we could be out of water very quickly. It was 7.1 in magnitude. Has anyone else experienced such a huge earthquake? |
Glad you're OK Vanilla!

Going off the damage in the photos and the fact you just got hit by a 7.1 earthquake, I'm amazed there's been no loss of life.
