First thing I thought of when I heard about the quake was how we have quite a few NZ members here. Glad to hear everything is ok.
I've never been in an earthquake...or any natural disaster for that matter, but I do have an interesting story. The big tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004 would have hit the country I was in, but luckily Singapore is so tiny that all the surrounding countries protect from basically everything (yep...no earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, or any other natural disaster...pretty relaxing). Anyway, it was my freshman year of college and I was just there for Christmas break. All my dorm buddies ended up watching some news about what Singapore would have looked like if it had actually been hit (total decimation) and they confused that for what actually happened. My whole floor thought I had died. |
I'm glad to hear that our NZ members were not injured in the Earthquake. Hopefully the aftershocks are small and sparse, but I must also admit my ignorance to the seismic activity in that region. It also reminds me of "The Big One" that's going to hit Vancouver at some point, much to my chagrin.

I heard this on the news the morning after it happened, and thought of you Vanilla, so glad you're okay! Stay safe.
When it happened I immediately tried calling the friends I have in Christchurch who I used to stay with but couldn't get through! :( The phone lines must've been down. I've since been able to contact them via Facebook but they have no water or electricity still! The whole things terrible. Stay safe all you Christchurchers! It's been such a horrible week in Australia too, my state has been suffering from bad floods and hundreds of people have lost their houses... what is going on?! |
