More carnage
 
Yesterday saw Christchurch hit by a mag 6.3 quake. It's all but decimated 65% of the cbd. Unlike September's which hit early morning this struch at lunch time. So far 75 confirmed dead

Jesus, I had no idea this was going on. Not exactly Captain Current Affairs. Had a bit of an OMFG moment when I remembered Vanilla was in NZ, but then I realized I'd just seen her post and I was an idiot. Nevertheless, best wishes and all my support.

I was online on mb when the earthquake happened talking to someone on skype and he could see me screaming as my flat fell apart (I had just given him a tour of it on camera). I don't really know what to do but just trying to stay strong. Originally we were in a welfare place with 1000's of people where it was pouring down so we got soaked and muddy.

I am so grateful to be alive, thank you for your support I'll keep in touch. xxxxxx

Just came across this thread, glad all is ok Vnil. Best of luck to you.

Oh man, sorry to hear that! Do you know if insurance will cover any of your property damage?
