Earthquake in NZ

7.4 Magnitude earthquake west of Christchurch.

Power is out, but family and house are fine.

I am in Westport right now and doing fine.

  2. We were so relieved to hear that everyone is safe. Still it must be a difficult time for Wordy, Squidd and Auntie with the chaos and lack of utilities. Good luck getting home.

  3. The internet is both a curse and blessing. We were frantic in trying to find out what happened to everyone after the news hit us literally hours after the event, courtesy of the internet. But we were glad for the reassurance we got from one of the internet's amazing technologies that everyone is safe and sound. Unfortunately, it might take Rocky quite some time to get home if roads are impassable or even partially blocked by rockslides.
