On top of that it was dark, incredibly loud and I was on the bed which was moving around! I am still having flashbacks of it and am quite anxious, there has been aftershock after aftershock. There is apparently supposed to be a big aftershock coming in the next 24 hours of magnitude 6.1. I am not looking forward to it.

I am so relieved no one has died, I am uploading photos to post right now so you can see how astonishing it is to be there. My flatmate and I were standing right beside a collapsed building front and an aftershock hit, pretty freaky haha!

Merkaba and Cheese I'm so glad to hear you are okay, sorry about your shed Cheese. Us 3 all live in Christchurch you see, New Zealand is such a small place so it's bound to happen.

Thank you everyone for your concern, I'm still in a state of oblivion right now.
