Mixed news.....most of my friends are alive and safe (but for a few minor injuries)...most have lost their houses or discovered their homes are in the middle of a lake where once was road and grass.
Unfortunately a number of people I used to work with are amongst the missing........no one knows what has happened to them.
Sorry to those who have missing or have lost loved ones. My family and I send you our thoughts and best wishes in this sad time.
I'm still waiting for news of a family member but the area they are in is on the outskirts. Over 50% of Christchurch doesn't have power so with overloading phone services and no power I might not hear anything for a few days.
So many countries have been so wonderful offering support, money and sympathy.
Thank you.
The support is amazing ... on here and from around the world. This is such a devastating event for a quiet peaceful nation in this corner of the Pacific.

I live on the outskirts of Christchurch. Fortunately all my family are ok. some are without power and water. Deathtoll currently 76 with 238 people listed as missing. We were lucky that we had no damage to our house. We have just got it fixed from the 7.3 earthquake in September. My wife and I went into Christchurch last night to see how my mother was in her rest home. The damage that we saw was bad and we didn't see the worst.

Perg, that one and the very last image are some of the most heartwrenching. The last one shows two teenagers and their father crying on the sidewalk after having just been told there is no chance their mother can be rescued alive from the building she was in when it collapsed. Can you imagine? I can't even begin to.![]()
